LOS ANGELES TIMES/USC POLL

California voters have a generally positive view of the massive federal healthcare package signed into law by President Obama last month, providing a potential boost statewide to the Democrats who pushed it through Congress, according to a new Times/USC poll.
Republican leaders, campaigning against the bill, have warned Democrats that their votes would weigh them down in November's elections. Although that may be true in more conservative parts of the country, the opposite appears to be developing here.
By a margin of 46% to 29%, California voters surveyed said they would be more likely to vote for a politician who had supported the health bill. And just over half the voters polled said they believed the country would be better off because of the bill.
On another hot-button issue, immigration, the poll found a continued sharp polarization between Democrats and Republicans, but also a shift of voter sentiment away from proposals to take away all social services, including access to schools and emergency medical treatment, from illegal residents.

LAT BS.
Depends on where you are in California.
In gay Frisco and around gay Frisco or left wing LA, they are for OHaHa’s health care scam, and in Sacramento, they are for it.
In the red counties, a majority of legals are against it.
Wat you mean man? Of course, I like free health care.
Later dude, surf’s up man.
We need CA to collapse now just to bring these people out of their fantasy land.
It would eventually collapse, but that may not be soon enough for the rest of the country.
Don’t believe it. The LAT is a joke even in LA. Their polls consist of asking employees at the water cooler. Where, incidentally, they spend most of their time cause all their news is written by the obama media czar, the dnc, the green peace, and the screen actors guild.
The only reliable information the LAT prints is the date and the scores in college and professional sports. You can not even rely on the high school scores: if the score is too one sided they will fudge the numbers so the losing team’s self esteem is not hurt. Of course the running back who scored 5 TDs and wants to cut out the article for a scrapbook will only be credited for 3, but the LAT feels they need to spread the self esteem to those less fortunate.
I have lived in Southern CA forty six years. My county is the only conservative one. The real big crowds of libs live in the North & San Fran area,
The Mexicans all want free nedical.Pregrant women ready to deliver will cross the border & have the baby in the grass. Nothing like a anchor child they brag about,
Sure, they all want “free” medical. You can not find a white,American English speaking person working out here. Our state is all Mexicans doing the jobs that Americans will not do-— what a joke. When I travel back East I love the white Americans just like me are working at jobs they would never get out here.
The illegals stand around on street corners & work for a cheap wage so they get the jobs.
They are building new homes next street over & all Mexicans working on the houses. No Americans, I ask myself where does the American people work at? Notin CA.

Not the folks from California that I know. Of course they tend to be in the TAX PAYER category instead of the TAX CONSUMER category.
A real obeject poll

What kind is that?
Another question asked by LAT was “Do you think that you and your family will see benefits from the healthcare reform bill?”
No was 47%. Yes was 41%. That was not mentioned prominently on the front page...
I think it would be safe to say that 47% of those surveyed don’t think Obama “solved” the “healthcare crisis”...
Last paragraph of the article mentioned immigration...Black voters overwhelmingly thought that immigration was not beneficial...
But, I think all CA black members of Congress are for amnesty...
