Dropping like a rock – and taking Obama with it:
The One’s bounce has already started to fade but the numbers for the bill itself were an open question since Gallup’s shocker last week showing a surge of support to 49/40. Momentary spike due to glowing media coverage of the historic historicness of passage? Or a sustained rise as Americans reconcile themselves psychologically to their horrific new boondoggle?
An answer, perhaps:
In the poll, 50% call passage of the bill “a bad thing” and 47% say it was “a good thing.” That’s at odds with the findings of a one-day USA TODAY Poll taken a week ago — a day after the U.S. House approved the legislation — in which a 49%-40% plurality called the bill “a good thing.”…
The failure of the new law to get even plurality support is especially sobering for House Democrats from competitive congressional districts who heeded pleas from the White House and congressional leaders to vote “yes.” The legislation passed 219-212, with just three votes to spare…
Further in to the article is Gallup’s latest on the “generic ballot” question. To nutshell it – if the election were held today, Democrats would lose about 60 seats. It looks like all ObamaCare has done is give a temporary boost to Democrats among Democrats while also lighting a massive fire under GOPers and Independents to oppose not just ObamaCare, but the entire Democrat agenda.
Meanwhile, Rasmussen has Obama back on a -14 in the strongly approve/strongly disapprove metric.
Now, don’t cocky, Republicans – its a looong way to November and the Democrats will pull out all the stops. Get ready for the political battle of a life time.
