Poll: Support For ObamaCare Hits New Low

The Democrats are telling you the public is behind them, and public opinion is turning back after the losses they suffered in August. This simply isn’t true. A recent Rasmussen poll shows that opposition to ObamaCare has risen to 56%... that’s a new high for opposition to the plans.

Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan.

The bottom line is that public support for ObamaCare is not there. Senior citizens oppose it 59%-33%. And although 75% of Democrats favor the bill, 79% of Republicans and 72% of independents are opposed to it.

As to what we expect of it, 55% think the quality of healthcare will get worse if the plan passes, and 54% say costs will rise.

This just doesn’t sound like a public mandate to me, you know?
