1. Will This Influence The Blue Dog Democrats? n/t

2. Only if their constituents make the case to them

and point it out if disrupters are being brought into districts in an effort to make it seems numbers are other than what they really are.

7. Good old Rasmussen

It's so nice to see that they can have it both ways.

Last week, Rasmussen Reports tracking found that support for the Congressional plan was at 42%.

While the tracking question did not specifically mention the public option, it referred to the bill proposed by the president and congressional Democrats now working its way through Congress. All of the congressional committees that had passed reform legislation included a government health insurance plan. Therefore, it is reasonable to compare those results with the current polling to measure the potential impact of dropping the public option.

The most dramatic impact is a sharp decline in enthusiastic support. Without the public option, only nine percent (9%) Strongly support the legislation. The earlier poll found 26% Strongly in favor of it.

They've got everyone pushing a poll that basically says the majority of Americans don't support a health care bill with a public option, but even less support it without the public option.

Either way, Americans don't support the bill.


Screw Rassmussen.
