Rasmussen: 54/42 against Pelosi’s health care rationing bill.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  November 2nd, 2009 at 10:37 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Give House Democrats credit: their latest version of the health care rationing bill actually moved the numbers a little.  Just not in the way that they hoped.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced the House version of health care reform legislation last week, but most voters are still opposed to the effort.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 42% now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down from 45% a week ago but unchanged from two weeks ago.

Much obliged; the drop in support from the last time the Democrats unveiled a version of health care rationing was starting to abate, so having this handy reminder of who’s running Congress these days – and the implications – is really, really handy.  Some people might quibble that if Democrats wanted to be really helpful they’d have scheduled their latest announcement last Saturday, but I’m not greedy.  This will do nicely for tomorrow’s races.

    The Pelosi gang are blind to polls. The under 30 need to be educated about the horror that is Obamacare.
    Dick Morris says the best way to now stop ObamaCare is to educate those under 30. This 3-D, anti-Obamacare ad is a great way to do it on their own turf: YouTube.

    THIS is how conservatives need to start diversifying their messages to the youth audience so conservative messages all aren?t just scenes of tea parties and paintings of patriotic scenes. Please make this go viral, everyone. Please hurry! We can make an impact!

    Does it even seem to matter any more that most polling has Pelosi’s health care debacle unpopular with the American people. It seems the democrats don’t even care what anyone thinks, and they’re driven to pass this thing, whether we want it or not. I guess that’s what elitists do of course, because we’re too dumb to know what’s best for us…

    Come get your cigar (couldn’t get you a quality one because of the increased taxes [you know, the ones that Obama was not going to raise]).

    The Dems could care less about polls. They have the votes (at least, on paper) and are going “all in” on their entire “progressive” agenda. Healthcare, cap and trade, etc. because this is their best chance. Pelosi even has said she’d be willing to lose seats over public option.

    They are counting on the ADD of the American voters to kick in between now and next November and it’s a good bet it will (remember, the vast majority of the stimulus spending will be next year and the healthcar bill does not go into effect until 2013).

    Even though ObamaCare is unpopular, it’s not unpopular enough. If there was 60%+ against this bill, that’s when you would see Democrats running for cover.

    Ads should be running 24/7 in swing states to drive the negatives through the roof. I’m amazed they’re not already. You’re talking about trillions of dollars being lost by these companies, you think they would fight a little more to protect their turf.

    …with right vs. wrong.

    This, just like every other devious scheme from the so-called Great Society on forward, isn’t about caring, doing the right thing, helping people, or reforming anything. It’s only about the acquisition of power by a gang of megalomaniacs. Period. Full stop.
