AP poll shows growing approval of health care overhaul

[OntarioVanMan]

In a rare bit of good news for Democrats, a new Associated Press-GfK poll finds a significant turnaround in public sentiment toward the health care reform bill approved by Congress earlier this year. According to AP, 45 percent of those surveyed approve of the bill and 42 percent oppose.

At first glance, those aren't amazing numbers, but the same poll found 50 percent opposed the bill back in March, when President Obama signed the measure into law. Just last month, supporters were outnumbered 39 percent to 46 percent. (You can see the poll's full results here.)

Why the turnaround? AP says support has been growing among men (from 36 percent to 46 percent in favor) and Americans ages 30 to 49 (from 35 percent to 49 percent approval). Even Republicans have eased up a little. In May, only 8 percent liked the bill; now that's up to 17 percent. Still, 56 percent of Americans older than 65 hate the bill — a number virtually unchanged since the spring.

AP poll shows growing stupidity among the population....

Any time this sort of nonsense bubbles up in the gruel of what the AP calls objective reporting, it's a good idea to check the realclearpolitics.com website. The idea that the public attitude toward Obamacare is improving is a study in bovine scatology.

The average of all the polls is 50.8% AGAINST and 41.4% in favor of Obamacare.
You'll notice that the AP poll is the ONLY one that reflects public approval of Obamacare - their liberal bias continues to be an embarassment to their claim to be a news organization.
