Gallup and USA Today released a shock poll today, showing a near-majority of Americans support government-run health care legislation just signed into law. What USA Today didn’t mention in its reporting, however, are the major caveats and actual details of the poll. Instead it just printed this headline: Opinions turn favorable on health care plan And then the story goes on the phrase the results as evidence that Americans simply love ObamaCare. But you need to turn to Gallup’s website for the real story: Although much of the public debate over healthcare reform has been heated, barely a third of rank-and-file citizens express either enthusiasm (15%) or anger (19%) about the bill’s passage. However, only Democrats show greater enthusiasm than anger. Independents are twice as likely to be angry as enthusiastic, and Republicans 10 times as likely. Independents and Republicans are several times more likely to be pissed than happy. And then there’s this: While it also pleases most of his Democratic base nationwide, it is met with greater ambivalence among independents and with considerable antipathy among Republicans The higher approval comes as a result of Democrats coming home to rally around the Messiah. In fact, Independents are evenly split on approval/disapproval and twice as likely to be pissed than happy. This poll was shocking not only because all evidence has been to the contrary of its results, but because CNN released a poll just yesterday showing 59% of Americans opposing the legislation. So not only should you look upon the Gallup/USA Today poll with skepticism, but even the results in this poll aren’t as hopeful for Democrats as the media are making it seem.

Correct title: Gallup/USA Today’s Questionable Poll
Obammy sez it Stone previously said he doesn't necessarily have a problem with changing titles unless something particularly controversial is added such as something racial.

Chuckles...you most certainly have been schooled enough in them...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. We should leave the polls to the other side. Keep in mind this: today, if the Bill of Rights were put to a popular vote, most, if not all of it, would be voted down. Polls can be manipulated, and they have nothing to do with what's Constitutional or right. If we're going to base our opposition to this on polls, we're going to lose. We might as well throw in the towel now. By November, it is very possible (given the education level and attention span of the average voter) that polls WILL show majority support.
Obammy sez it You seem to have found a picture of what the "Progressive" thugocracies that have taken over this nation will look like when they find WE PATRIOTS in control of all of the Firearms companies and themselves GUN CONTROLLED IN REVERSE. To All Patriots. Time to follow the plan of the Corps of Discovery. Buy Firearms company stock NOW.
Chuckles...feel free to break into my home to test your theory and keep in mind that I'm not as cheap as Boofer is... but your hysterics over the workings of a republic are duly noted...

Oh what a DUFFLE-HEAD that Barack Obama is !!! Duffle-Head (As used in a Felix the Cat cartoon) A wicked person of limited intelegence but with pretenses of intelectual grandeur. Their only successful endevors are usually the invention of self punishment machines.
