By Mark Murray, Senior Political Editor, NBC News
Americans are divided about whether the problems associated with the health-care laws federal website are a short-term issue than can be solved, or a long-term issue that signals deeper troubles, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Thirty-seven percent of respondents say that the website woes are a short-term technical problem that can be fixed, while 31 percent believe they point to a longer-term issues with the laws design that cant be corrected.
Another 30 percent think its too soon to say.

(2,679 posts)The 30% that say it is to early that's the middle in the political spectrum. And that they opted to not judge the roll out because it is too early, doesn't bode well if you are a bagger.
They're hoping they would have seen 80% disapproval. But then they don't live in the same reality based universe as the rest of us.

(2,679 posts)My first thought when I read the article, "what a waste - the poll is kind of pointless." But then right after that thought I went wait this is a wsj poll, I bet they thought it would be 60% for never fix, 20% can be fixed 20% undecided. So they must be shocked at the 30% that aren't rushing the white house with pitch forks and tar.

(8,361 posts)in a ratio of about 98% to 2%. Most respondents have no fucking clue what they are talking about. But we asked 'em anyway.

(8,409 posts). . . the notion that public opinion is at all relevant to what is, in the end, a technical issue, is beyond absurd.
