I daresay you're right. BTW, WaPo has a widget on their site that shows what obamacare will do to its victims. A single person with no dependents is subject to fines if s/he doesn't purchase government approved health insurance if s/he has an income as little as $9,500 yearly GROSS. I wonder if the folks thinking they're about to get blue cross/blue shield insurance paid for by "rich folks" realize this?
That said, I agree with those who say the poll is bogus. Too many states have passed anti mandate referendums for me to believe anyone outside regular CNN viewers are in favor of the mandate. My own state, Missouri, led the way by passing its anti mandate proposition by a 70%+ vote and massive turnout. And does anyone really believe that a majority of American citizens , in a time of very high unemployment and economic turmoil, believe the government should force people to spend hundreds of dollars they may not even have on ANYTHING ????
This poll was timed to coincide with the SCOTUS review of Obamacare...a message is being sent with a subtle underlying hint at unrest to follow an unfavorable to Obama Court decision.
