This Week's Public Opinion Polls: NO to OBAMACARE, REIDCARE & PELOSICARE

Just Like Last Week, This Week Every Poll Shows Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose The Democrats’ Health Care Bill

NBC NEWS-WALL STREET JOURNAL POLL: “Just 32 Percent Say It's A Good Idea, Versus 47 Percent Who Say It's A Bad Idea.” “As the Senate sprints to pass a health-care bill by Christmas, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that those believing President Obama's health-reform plan is a good idea has sunk to its lowest level. Just 32 percent say it's a good idea, versus 47 percent who say it's a bad idea.” (“NBC Poll: Public Sours On Health Reform,” MSNBC’s “First Read,”, 12/16/09)

WASHINGTON POST-ABC NEWS POLL: “In The Poll Conducted This Month, 51 Percent Say They Oppose The Proposed Changes To The System; 44 Percent Approve Of Them. Two-thirds say the health-care reforms would add to the federal deficit, with two-thirds of those people calling such an increase ‘not worth it.’” (“Public Cooling To Health-Care Reform As Debate Drags On, Poll Finds,” The Washington Post, 12/16/09)

GALLUP: “Political Independents Are More Inclined To Oppose (49%) Than To Favor (44%) A New Healthcare Bill.” (“Majority Of Americans Still Not Backing Healthcare Bill,” Gallup, 12/16/09)

AP-GFK POLL: “Although The National Debate Over Health Care Has Been Heated, There Was Little To No Change >From November In The Public's Attitudes On The Proposals Being Discussed — 44 Percent Oppose Them While 36 Percent Support Them. And only half the country approves of Obama's handling of the issue.” (“AP-GfK Poll: Gains For Obama, Not His Afghan Plans,” The Associated Press, 12/17/09)

RASMUSSEN: “Fifty-Six Percent (56%) Of U.S. Voters Now Oppose The Health Care Plan Proposed By President Obama And Congressional Democrats. That’s the highest level of opposition found - reached three times before - in six months of polling. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 40% of voters favor the health care plan. Perhaps more significantly, 46% now Strongly Oppose the plan, compared to 19% who Strongly Favor it.” (“Health Care Reform,” Rasmussen Reports, 12/14/09)
