Public disapproval of President Barack Obama's handling of health care has leaped to 52 percent, according to Associated Press-GfK poll that underscores the country's glowering mood as the White House made a renewed pitch for an overhaul.
Just 42 percent approve of the president's work on the high-profile health issue. The survey was released Wednesday before his nationally televised effort to persuade Congress and voters to back his drive to reshape the nation's $2.5 trillion-a-year medical system.
Spotlighting how Obama lost ground this summer, his latest approval figures on health were essentially reversed since July, when 50 percent approved of his health effort and just 43 percent disapproved.
The poll was taken over five days just before Obama's speech to Congress. That speech reflected Obama's determination to push ahead despite growing obstacles.
"I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than to improve it," Obama said Wednesday night. "I won't stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are. If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we'll call you out. And I will not accept the status quo as a solution."

Obama dished 52% of Americans last night in his speech. Not a wise move, IMHO.
Ditto, Mr. President.
And I don’t accept Obama for anything.
We are shedding hundreds of thousands of jobs monthly and all Obama and the dems can think of is destroying the only industry that is hiring anybody!
Obambi is in constant campaign mode... I dont really care “what he will accept”
He WORKS FOR US not the other way around...
Oh, no, Fox reporting Obama will be on the air at 9am Eastern.....
This is the AP, so watch for the follow-on dem-weighted poll to show how much his speech “moved” people.
Hey now, I was moved! Well, I made a move for the remote...
FOX NEWS...NEWS....NEWS....

PROSTITUTES....AND THEY HAVE FILM!!!! AUDIO
HOW MUCH ARE WE GIVING ACORN? COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS INDEED!!!
Accepting the status quo is doing nothing. Doing nothing is not a solution. Solutions require action.
Neither will I - I want disapproval to go to 80%, or even higher.
Everyone should jamm the Capitol Hill phone lines today 202-224-3121 - raise Hell with the RATS and stiffen the spines of the GOP members. Call all of them. They pay no attention to emails.
Hey now, I was moved! Well, I made a move for the remote...

I also made a move—luckily I was sitting on the crapper.
He doesn’t know what’s in the plan. He lies !
Watching it now.

ACORN slithered into MD right before the election with a dirty paws full of cash and O’Malice welcomed them with open arms.
This was filmed in the corrupt hell hole known as Baltimore.

And water is wet.
