Got a link for that number?

Getting through? You mean they can discuss in Senate? No promise of it getting through. If it does, still has to be reconciled with House bill.

Poll: U.S. deeply divided on healthcare - UPI.com

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. residents are deeply divided over efforts in Congress to reform the country's healthcare system, a poll indicated Tuesday.

A Washington Post-ABC News poll showed Americans have deep misgivings about the proposals, predicting higher costs, but they also don't agree with Republican efforts to kill the reform efforts, the Post reported.

The poll showed 48 percent of respondents support the proposed changes while 49 percent indicated they were opposed, the Post said.

There was continued support for key elements of the legislation, such as a requirement that employers provide health insurance to their workers and a proposal to establish a government-sponsored "public option" for those people without insurance.

Some 53 percent voiced support for a public option to compete with private insurers, with the support jumping to 72 percent when the option is limited to those who lack access to coverage through an employer or the Medicare or Medicaid systems.

What House bill? And what makes you think that they are going to bribe this thing all the way through. They've already talked Louisiana into selling out. 100 million is chump change to what they will be trying to buy votes for next month. Just you wait and see.

Nothing would make me happier than to see this thing die and die fast, but it's not going to.

This time, it’s not Rasmussen delivering the bad news among likely voters, but Quinnipiac among registered voters — a sample that should lean more towards Obama than away from him. However, in the latest Q-poll conducted over the full week after Nancy Pelosi slammed her health-care reform bill through Congress, a majority of the 2518 respondents oppose ObamaCare. And while three-quarters of the respondents find Obama personally likable, he’s at a -12 on the issue (via Geoff A):

What House bill?

HR 3962 The Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, deceptively named as it is neither affordable nor a choice.

Talk about spin. Registered voters are, on average, older and whiter than the overall population. That's going to favor the GOP position.

Registered voters, but that's not relevant. You could claim that using a registered voter screen would be more favorable to the Democrats that a likely voter screen (which is true), but to say it's the most favorable is BS.

So a poll of Likely voters would be more accurate?

"Rasmussen Reports has been tracking public support for the Congressional health care plan on a weekly basis. The latest tracking update will be released on Monday morning. Last week, 47% favored the plan and 49% took the opposite view. With the exception of bounces following a Presidential address, that’s the highest level of support for the plan since the debate began in earnest."

And while I'm on the daily update...

"Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) now disapprove."

Looks like the people still do not approve.

Hopefully the numbers will change even more once the people hear this debate.

Likely voters would be a better representation of the people who are likely to show up to vote. All adults would be a better representation of public mood. It really depends on what you want to measure.

Sounds sort of like you want 'intention' to cover those that fail to get out and cast their ballots??

How did those older and whiter voters help last november?

Somewhere in oblivion, both George Orwell and Ayn Rand are having a big fat laugh right now.

The White House & the powers on the HILL are showing utter contempt and disrespect for the American people. Further, IMO, they will ramrod a bill through and Obama will sign it.

Between this and the other slaps in the face to the citizenship of this nation, they are going to seal their own doom. They very well could make fanatical liberalism a thing of the past, in terms of ever being a real threat again.

The Blue Dogs had better grow a backbone or they too will be taken down!

Yet the democrats at large are worried about Bush, Hanity, Rush, Beck, Palin and so on!

As sad as it is, you have to admit, it can be comical to watch at times!
