There's no point in the White House saying this, so it won't.
But an official predicted to me the other day that Obama's numbers would hit 60 after the health care bill passes, and Chuck Schumer seems to think roughly the same thing: that the public polling on the Democratic reform bill will turn around "soon."
When people see what is in this bill and when people see what it does, they will come around," Schumer said. "The reason people are negative is not the substance of the bill, but the fears that the opponents have laid out. When those fears don't materialize, and people see the good in the bill, the numbers are going to go up."
With 65% of the country agaisnt it and the far left hating if for it’s lack of socialism?
These people are totally delusional.
If the bill is that good, why is it never posted until the last minute, and voted on in the dead of night?
You and the bill can’t stand the light of day!
More like a bounce into outerspace of his negative ratings.
Wonder if Olberman is still ready to go to jail.
OK Now they have completely lost the plot.
The numbers are down because the majority do not want this and they think passing it will make their numbers go up.
What ever have they been drinking up on the hill?
Is this satire?
WE’VE BEEN QUOTING PARTS OF THE DAMN THING FOR MONTHS!
What this jackass just said is that they didnt care enough to tell people what’s in it, most of them didnt read it, but somehow socialized medicine is going to be so sweet that 60% of people will magically LIKE this?
Are these people F’ing retarded? These people are loony toons!
Let the polls show the public in the mood for an execution of 60 Senators
I agree.
0bozo’s numbers will hit 60 after the abominable health care bill passes alright..60% DISapproval.
These people are totally delusional.
I’m with you, these people have been telling
the BIG lie for so long it all seems natural
to them.
Of course the bad thing for Omama is that this
won’t go into effect for two years yet and will
take another year after that to kick in.
He’ll be lucky not to be ridden out of town
on a rail covered in tar.
Has anyone actually read the bill?
Money can be paid to certain persons, who ‘develop’ algorithms to ‘poll’ ‘random’ samplings of other ‘certain persons’ that, in turn, receive a nice, little ‘extra something’ to make Christmas go well.
Polling? Who needs polls when you have the answer key?
I predict a 5pt Dead Cat Bounce than a plunge down to 23-26% when everyone realizes the people they elected flipped them the bird.
For their argument to have any merit whatsoever, wouldn’t they have been climbing over each other to read the bill?
You're wrong, they know exactly what they are doing. I dont think they believe this for a second, and dont care. They are willing to take a hit in '10 and '12 to get this passed because it's the beginning of the end.
The one thing the GOP can do to make sure this thing is repealed is make sure no one can fix this piece of dog poo.
This bill is so bad, people are going to start screaming soon.
Capice?
