Obamacare's Weakest Links
FrumForum - David Gratzer - ‎37 minutes ago‎
A clear majority of Americans now favor a full repeal of the
President's health-reform proposal.
A follow up:
"..Pollsters aren’t perfect, and Rasmussen polls seem harder on
Democratic efforts than others (and – not surprisingly – Democrats
have been more critical of Rasmussen as of late). But another survey
finds a similar result: according to the most recent Kaiser Family
Foundation poll, the President’s health-reform proposals have grown
less popular over the last month. A majority of Americans have a
“somewhat unfavorable” or “very unfavorable” view of the reforms..."
