NBC poll: Public sours on health reform
MSNBC ^ | Dec.16, 2009 | Mark Murray

As the Senate sprints to pass a health-care bill by Christmas, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that those believing President Obama's health-reform plan is a good idea has sunk to its lowest level.

Just 32 percent say it's a good idea, versus 47 percent who say it's a bad idea.

In addition, for the first time in the survey, a plurality prefers the status quo to reform. By a 44-41 percent margin, respondents say it would be better to keep the current system than to pass Obama's health plan.

The American People can see that this is being rushed without any GOP support.

They know that it is purely ideological and political.

Hey, I have an idea..... Since all the folks in Washington DC are supposedly REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE, why don’t they take this to the people for a vote?

It must be killing NBC to put out these numbers. I wonder if Olboreman is going to reference it tonight.

It doesn't matter. The Senate Dims seem determined to jump off this cliff no matter what the American people want.

Well, the MSM is obviously very concerned about the 2010 elections, which will be here before we know it, although not soon enough.

Remember, after Jimmy Carter, we had three cycles of Republican administrations, at the executive level -- would have been four if Ross Perot never ran.

The MSM is afraid of the GOP taking back control of Congress next year, plus a one-term presidency for his royal mmmm3.
