Support For Obamacare Going South

A new Rasmussen Report shows that opposition of Obamacare has risen to 54%. This poll also shows that support for it has gone down by 4% during the last two weeks. As it stand now public support for the senates health reform is at 42%. Again that's a 4 point drop in the last two weeks. Among independent voters 56% oppose and 38% support.

These numbers have been steady since the August recess. Earlier this summer approval rose to 56% but since has leveled out in the low to mid 40s. As people find out more about Obamacare they support it less. I commend the 'right wing' and radio hosts for exposing the horrors of obamacare during the summer, like death panels, rationed care, and tax increases, medicare cuts and more.

Based on these polls and ratings, and attitude of the people towards this, i draw the conclusion, Obamacare is dying and due to its recent unpopularity, we can expect to see another last minute thousand page bill, rushed through while no one reads the bill, topped with the 'do something' mentality and some good ol' fasion fear mongering.
