Poll: majorities support public option, health insurance mandate (Lying Media Alert!)

As Democratic congressional leaders and White House officials work to shape health care bills that will go to the House and Senate floors, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that support for a government-run health plan to compete with private insurers has rebounded from its summertime lows and now wins clear majority support from the public

The lying retards at the ComPost and ABC doing Axelrod's bidding.

YEP...Shep what’s his face said the same thing (my husband was watching him!!!)....and I was screaming at the TV! LIARS!

[antidemoncrat]

Yeah they probably polled every minority neighborhood they could find.

[EagleUSA]

The lies just keep coming as fast as the MSM can invent them and print them.

I trust Rasmussen more: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/healthcare/september_2009/health_care_reform

Horse crap.

As Mark Levin pointed out, polls such as this are useless if they do not provide this basic information before the questioning:

90% of Americans DO have health insurance.
Only 12 million do NOT have health insurance and cannot afford it.

[Parley Baer]

I’m with the above poster. I will take the Rasmussen poll. The alphabet polls are not to be believed.

God forbid right wing media should put out a poll of their own, weighed honestly, and showing the exact opposite.

Monkeys will fly out of that communist Valerie Jarrets butt before something like that will happen.

Apparently only 20% of Americans identify with the GOP, and the two-party system is dead. Everybody is for Obama now.

I have rarely seen a bigger "push poll" in my life. What utter garbage. Look at this from the "journalist" who concocted this CRAP:

57 percent of all Americans now favor a public insurance option, while 40 percent are opposed. Support has risen since mid-August, when a bare majority, 52 percent, said they favored it.... nearly seven in 10 say they believe that any health care bill will enlarge the federal budget deficit... nearly half of those who see the legislation as increasing the deficit also say that that would be "worth it."

Later, this Hussein Cultist says:

Overall, 57 percent approve of the way Obama is handling his job as president and 40 percent disapprove.

My fat arse.

LOL. This is so pathetic

sounds like private industry colluding to defraud the taxpayer...

abc.......who believes abc

[jveritas]

If socialized medicine is that popular why they have not passed it yet when they have huge majorities in Congress and they have the White House? This poll is BS.

[pissant]

On this, we are in 100% agreement.

[Intolerant in NJ]

42% Independents, 33% ‘rats, 20% Republicans in the “random” sample - I don’t think so......

[stylin19a]

weird disconnect

3. Do you think things in this country (are generally going in the right direction) or do you feel things (have gotten pretty seriously off on the wrong track)?

Right Direction = 44
Wrong Direction = 54
No Opinion = 2

[Cheerio]

...and now wins clear majority support from the public

Well then, Congress should have no problem with the vote tally - pass the damn thing and get on with the rest of the child's MARXIST agenda. Then stand back and watch what happens in Nov 2010 cause I don't think you can rig that many ballot boxes ! ! ! ! ! !
