Poll: Public sours on Obama's overhaul plan - Health care reform- msnbc.com

This is a PMSNBC poll that is showing
sinking support for the health care bill.
Democrats do not care, they will force
this through using reconciliation if need be.
That only requires 51 votes, not the 60
for a majority. When a PMSNBC polls shows
a bill, issue is in trouble, it is in BIG trouble.


Poll: Public sours on Obama's overhaul plan - Health care reform- msnbc.com


WASHINGTON - As Democrats struggle to pass a health care overhaul bill by Christmas, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Tuesday found support for the reform plan has sunk to its lowest level since April 2009.


Just 32 percent of respondents said that President Barack Obama's health care overhaul proposal is a good idea, with 47 percent responding that the plan is a bad idea.

A portion of the poll was released just as the Senate was thrust into hours of health care gridlock after a Republican senator demanded that a 767-page amendment be read aloud.

The sponsor of the measure, Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, withdrew it after 139 pages had been read. Sanders said the Republican delaying tactics were an "outrage."

His amendment would have guaranteed coverage for all through a Medicare-like plan, and it was not expected to pass.

Even as debate resumed, the outlook for progress on President Barack Obama's signature issue remained unclear.
