Just 41% Support Obama Care
From Rasmussenreports.com since I have nothing to add as the figures speak for themselves, I'll take it directly from the link:
Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan.
Senior citizens are less supportive of the plan than younger voters. In the latest survey, just 33% of seniors favor the plan while 59% are opposed. The intensity gap among seniors is significant. Only 16% of the over-65 crowd Strongly Favors the legislation while 46% are Strongly Opposed. Currently, among all voters 23% Strongly Favor the legislative effort and 43% are Strongly Opposed.
If the plan passes, 24% of voters say the quality of care will get better, and 55% say it will get worse. Fifty-four percent (54%) say passage of the plan will make the cost of health care go up while 23% say it will make costs go down.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Democrats say the plan is at least somewhat likely to become law. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans disagree. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 34% say passage is at least somewhat likely while 58% say it is not.
