Looks like Mr. Balls missed the oversampling of Government Workers in the bogus NBC "poll":

One thing I’ll give the dems credit for is they don’t seem to be cowed by polls like Republicans are.

In 2009 and early 2010 every poll showed that Obamacare was unpopular. Every poll showed that passing it was going to hurt the dems big time and likely cost them the House. A number of polls showed it would cause a historic defeat.

But they didn’t care. They weren’t affected. Obamacare was that important to them. If it cost them 65 House seats and 6 Senate seats(even if cost them the whole Senate including the majority leader). They were going to pass it. And they did.

I wish Republicans showed that type of backbone sometime

To tell the truth, FR is not like America as a whole.

America as a whole, does want insurance reform. Because frankly, American jobs are being sent to China.

By BOTH PARTIES.

There is ZERO insurance passed by the House.

I understand why FR is all in favor of this, but America is not so uniform.

We need a competing insurance bill out of the House.

Right now.

And we need to start bringing back American jobs, right now.

How about spending less time sending stories from the Washington Post to FR?

Editorializing by manufactured polls is not news, it’s partisan propaganda.

Hart called the findings “jaw-dropping.”

What should be "jaw-dropping" is that we don't give a crap about your polls.

More goofy advice for the GOP from a commie lib toad who thinks that what the low to no information types tell the pollsters is important.

The tea party’s positive rating was 21 percent

And that's the people who will turn out to vote in GOP races next year. GOP still can't get that through their heads.

Would I be wrong to suspect that the Rat pollsters,as well as Balz,are exempt from Osama Obama Care?

Past time for Baltz to sober up and to get out of the Compost’s gay hot tub and write about other things.

Remember these names... they are paid propagandists for the left. This poll was destroyed by both Rush and Levin.

They will be suprised next week when a new poll blames the dims. The propaganda media will be beside themselves.

Bill McInturff acted as pollster for both John McCain and Mitt Romney. ‘nuff said.

Gee, I took an informal poll at work and my results are about 75% for the Repubs and 25% either for the Dims or willing to split the blame. Take that NBC...
