“.......The FoxNews8 in Cleveland post is a reprint of a CNNWIRE article. CNN has shown itself to be a stooge for the democrats and liberal shrills.......”

Absolutely. CNN in every form, be it polling, or any other content is always slanted, or deliberately as possible presented in a leftist light.

I saw that “CNNWIRE” attribution at the link. Made me wonder about FOX 8 Cleveland.

How many people feel Obamacare should be repealed and replaced with something better?

Isn’t that the question on the plate?

Our heath insurance premiums have doubled $850 per month to $1600 per month, and the split has changed from an 80/20 to a 60/40 split. We are retired, so we really didn’t need that money anyway and gladly donate it to all of those folks that don’t work. Yea Obamacare! Thank you sir, can I have another? The polls have proven so accurate lately, we should believe them.

LOL. I half believe this poll simply because Americans have turned into adult babies who want to be taken care of for free. They want “free” health care. So, in the minds of the sheep conditioned by years of Liberal media cheerleading for the Welfare State, they think an expansion of Obamacare would give them free, top quality health care with lots of choices.

“Nearly half of Americans do not want Obamacare dismantled”

Really? So which idiot news pollsters made up THAT headline?

By the way, did they count American ‘citizens’ and ‘taxpayers’ in their assessment or did they include everyone who is HERE, regardless of their immigration status?

Nearly half of Americans vote for the progressive regime, regularly.

Which half?

Probably less than that. More likely somewhere around 47%...

Absolute BS.... Fake polls to drive a narrative.

Dunno bout that. Does "nearly half" equal somewhere around 47%?

I found the internals.


The telephone poll was conducted from Nov. 15-21 among a nationally representative random digit dial sample of 1,202 adults, including people reached by landlines and cell phones. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for the full sample. For subgroups, the margin of sampling error may be higher.

By polling "adults," they are polling anyone who is here, including illegal aliens and permanent resident aliens. These people are not "Americans."

For something like this, they should poll registered voters only. Anything less is meaningless hyperbole by non-citizens.

Nearly half of voters voted for DIMs. Nearly half of voters are mentally challenged or mentally ill.

Funding to Domestic Programs Being Cut to Fund Illegal Immigrant Minors

Written by Raven Clabough

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reports that the Department of Health and Human Services is cutting funding to domestic programs to pay for room and board for illegal alien youths. HHS must come up with $167 million to cover the costs to feed and shelter the unaccompanied minors through December 9 and has turned to other programs, including Medicare, for the money. And while the programs from which the money is being transferred are unconstitutional uses of taxpayer dollars, the move underscores that the American people are not this administration’s priority.

I think that people want medical care that they don’t pay for at the point of service. This is not an ideological position for most people who hold it, it’s a visceral feeling that is related to common psychological reactions to illness.

The last fifty years have seen a three-way tug of war between politicians (who need votes to live), the insurance industry, and voters. Most of the time, most voters are not sick and don’t need medical services - so cheap or employer-provided insurance schemes that screw sick people are popular. When a sick person gets screwed over, and pressure is put on politicians, they get more donations from the insurance industry, make more exceptions to the rules they themselves wrote, and create “programs”.

Obamacare is very unpopular. Most of the elements of Obamacare are very popular. How can this be?

It’s because Obamacare makes more people pay more money at the point of service for the care they receive when they are sick or in need. Most people (at any given time) are not sick or in need. For every sick person getting financially crushed by a $12 000 deductible, there are 99 people who have insurance that has positive features that they love. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT PLAN ON BEING SICK, EVER, AND THEY ALSO ARE POOR PLANNERS IN GENERAL - SO THEY ARE NOT BOTHERED BY THE DOWSIDES.

This is supposed to create pressure for nationalization, and, this time, after many failures, they’ve got it right. It’s working as designed.
