How did you get the figures? Is there anyplace we can confirm before I go shouting this around the office?
WASHINGTON (AP) _ AN ASSOCIATED PRESS-GFK POLL SAYS THAT PUBLIC
DISAPPROVAL OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA’S HANDLING OF HEALTH CARE HAS
JUMPED TO 52 PERCENT.
THE SAME SURVEY SHOWS THAT 49 PERCENT NOW DISAPPROVE OF HIS
OVERALL PERFORMANCE AS PRESIDENT. IN JULY, JUST 42 PERCENT
DISAPPROVED OF HOW HE WAS HANDLING HIS JOB.
THE GRADE PEOPLE GIVE OBAMA ON HEALTH CARE HAS ALSO WORSENED
SINCE JULY, WHEN JUST 43 PERCENT DISAPPROVED OF HIS WORK ON THE
ISSUE.
THE POLL WAS RELEASED HOURS BEFORE A NATIONALLY TELEVISED SPEECH
BEFORE CONGRESS IN WHICH THE PRESIDENT PLANS TO MAKE A RENEWED CASE
FOR OVERHAULING THE NATION’S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. THE SURVEY,
CONDUCTED SEPT. 3-8, UNDERSCORES HOW THE POLITICAL CLIMATE SHIFTED
AGAINST OBAMA DURING THE SUMMER.
