YAY!! I look forward to the day Obamacare loses all public support! :)

Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan.

Senior citizens are less supportive of the plan than younger voters. In the latest survey, just 33% of seniors favor the plan while 59% are opposed. The intensity gap among seniors is significant. Only 16% of the over-65 crowd Strongly Favors the legislation while 46% are Strongly Opposed.

For the first time ever, a slight plurality of voters now express doubt that the legislation will become law this year. Forty-six percent (46%) say passage is likely while 47% say it is not. Those figures include 18% who say passage is Very Likely and 15% who say it is Not at All Likely. Sixty percent (60%) are less certain.

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Democrats say the plan is at least somewhat likely to become law. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans disagree. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 34% say passage is at least somewhat likely while 58% say it is not.

The public won't be voting on it...The sooner it happens, the longer time they'll have until November 2010 and the more likely people will have forgotten who voted.

"Senior citizens are less supportive of the plan than younger voters."

I'm not surprised about the lack of support among seniors. They have experienced medicare errors that cost time and money.

Those "Still in Denial" are slowly coming around. Obama lied to get elected.
Obama lied about signing bills with earmarks, about posting bills on the internet for five days for comment before signing these, about the positions lobbyist would hold in his White House, about his timetable for Iraq, about putting the health care debate on C span, about ethics and transparency in his administration, about bailouts.........and more.

Obama was elected to take Washington back. Washington and the world has consumed him. He has abandoned most that got him elected.
