CNN poll: Obamacare at -20

Topics: Political News and commentaries

As Ed Morrissey notes at Hot Air, CNN's latest poll of adults should have given Democrats their most sympathetic sample, but respondents give Reid, Pelosi, and Barack Obama even worse news on their attempt to overhaul the American health-care system:

Only three in ten Americans say they want Congress to pass legislation similar to the health care reform bills that have already been approved by the House and Senate, according to a new national poll.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey also indicates that nearly half the public, 48 percent, would like federal lawmakers to start work on an entirely new bill, and 21 percent feel Congress should stop working an any bills that would change the country's health care system.

Fifty-eight percent of people questioned in the survey oppose the bills previously passed by the House and Senate, with 38 percent supporting that legislation.

Further evidencing the public's disdain for Obamacare is Rasmussen's polling released on Friday, which shows that 61% of voters nationwide want Congress to drop the health care plan and focus on the economy and jobs. It's what the clueless Dems should have been doing all along. Now, even the New York Times is saying that ObamaCare is dead.

The Democrats have spent a year on trying to force a government takeover of America's health care system, and failed. Health care needs reforming, but they focused on adding coverage, cronyism, and closed door back room deals, instead of transparently cutting costs which should have been their primary objective.
