Um.

Opinions turn favorable on health care plan
USA Today

WASHINGTON — Americans by 9 percentage points have a favorable view of the health care overhaul that President Obama signed into law Tuesday, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, a notable turnaround from surveys before the vote that showed a plurality against it.

By 49%-40% those surveyed say it was "a good thing" rather than a bad one that Congress passed the bill. Half describe their reaction in positive terms, as "enthusiastic" or "pleased," while about four in 10 describe it in negative ways, as "disappointed" or "angry."

The largest single group, 48%, calls the bill "a good first step" that should be followed by more action on health care. An additional 4% also have a favorable view, saying the bill makes the most important changes needed in the nation's health care system.

3. I have to laugh at these repugnants..

..on tv saying the polls show people don't like it..what do they expect after months of them pulling out all the stops, comparing it to hitler, threating grandma, communism, etc..I'm surprised after all that it polls as well as it has, and now you say, on the way up! whoo hoo!

I am really enjoying the show, watching the repugnants struggle in the quick-sand they made for us. does that make me a bad person?

6. If it makes you a bad person, veganlush, I'm bad too

because I'm enjoying myself today. I sincerely believe that this will end up biting the republicans in the butt come November. I don't think Democrats will be in nearly as dire straits as predicted.

8. I'm with you on that! The polls already seem to be turning around

if the Democrats handle it right, and continue to remind the electorate as to just what happened here, I too think they will come out much better than expected.

5. Repubs Are So Fucked And So Cornered

They've given themselves absolutely no options at this point except to continue down the destructive path of total obstruction.

You can't walk back from where they are now. It's been over a year screaming about how Obama and Dems are Nazi/Demon/Socialists and their base believes it. If they start to mitigate their hyperbole, their base will desert them en masse.

They are fucked. Truly, totally and utterly fucked. And it's a beautiful thing.
