I know I missed some of the approve/disapprove or healthcare scenarios such as status quo, penalties, etc. But it was interesting as I took it as a thermometer of where the public mood was at. What made me laugh was the scope of the questions. I was expecting the healthcare questions - but to jump to CIA and Hiroshima made me laugh.
Anyone else get this call and remember other questions?
Btw - she said it's their weekly poll and the results are out beginning of next week, I believe Monday or Tuesday.

Wasn’t too much of a push poll.

Sounds like there were some reasonable questions.

I thought this was only a proposal and not enacted?
