Though Americans are still deeply divided over the health care law, a clear majority disapprove of a Republican plan to choke off funding for it, according to a new CBS poll.

In the poll, 55% of respondents said they oppose the plan to block health care funding, while only 35% said they support that proposal.

Having failed in their efforts to repeal the law outright, some Republicans, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) have suggested scuttling President Obama's signature achievement through the legislature's power to appropriate funds. By blocking funding for some of the law's provisions, Congress could in effect cancel out pieces of the law without actually repealing them.

Yet the poll suggests that Republicans, who have at times framed the midterm elections as a referendum on the health care bill, would actually be bucking public opinion if they go ahead with their plan to cut off health care funding.

That result comes despite strong opposition to the law overall. In the same poll, 51% of respondents disapproved of the law, while only 33% approved of it.

When it comes to repealing the law, though, public opinion is far more mixed. While most Americans aren't happy with the law, polls suggest that only about one in five want to see the whole thing scrapped.

The CBS poll was conducted February 11-14 among 1,103 Americans nationwide. It has a margin of error of 3.0%.

CBS never asked me!

I'm sure your view point is represented there.
And represented accurately!

Somehow I got to question this article a lot. Based on what polls? Based on who's statistics?

Hearsay and nothing more!

Never got asked either.

Only EPLefties let others speak for them.
Wonder if bHo is getting used to his owners hand operating his mouth?

Of course!
I would expect a response like that when you don't agree with the results.

It's hard to accept when one is in the minority.

According to my Giddyup Poll, 100% of Americans know EPLefties make chit up.

My pole is more valid than CBS.

Really? And so the shoe is on the other foot for a change? Sorry but most people I know are against Obamacare. This is especially true of us "working class" people. The media is full of lies and bullshitte. Needless to say the only Americans in favor of this are ones out for a free ride. Oddly I know some "Black folk" who don't like Obama for a number of reasons other than bigotry and racially! They don't like the BS he has been spoon feeding us through the media!

So now the intellectual mine field is set...

When does someone blow their own leg off here?

Intellectually of course!

Yes a poll of less than .001% of Americans is very accurate.

It cannot be accurately represented because I wasn't asked! I see now how the left comes to their misguided conclusions....they create their conclusions.

The web site cited is internet equivilant to the 'enquirer'.

Its title is TB Muckraker... (says it all)...

The CBS poll referenced by the article was conducted by CBS on a 'click here' poll of their viewership...

This would indicate a 'skew' built into the poll by the very readership that 'CBS' slants to.
