POLL: Two-Thirds Of Americans Want Congress To Keep Trying On Health Care. HUFFINGTON POST, Feb. 10, 2010
A LARGE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS STILL WANT CONGRESS TO PASS HEALTH CARE REFORM, ACCORDING TO A WASHING POST-ABC NEWS POLL RELEASED ON TUESDAY.
The study showed that Democrats were twice as likely to support reform compared to Republicans, but that overall 63% of the country favors continued action.
Respondents were asked, "Do you think lawmakers in Washington should keep trying to pass a comprehensive health-care reform plan, or should they give up on comprehensive health-care reform?"
Democrats responded "Yes" 88% of the time, Republicans 42% and independents 56%.
The poll also found that the public puts slightly more blame on the GOP than President Obama -- though there's plenty to go around:
Nearly six in 10 in the new poll say the Republicans aren't doing enough to forge compromise with President Obama on important issues; more than four in 10 see Obama as doing too little to get GOP support.
Among independents, 56 percent see the Republicans in Congress as too unbending and 50 percent say so of the president; 28 percent of independents say both sides are doing too little to find agreement.

Rich, things have been moving so fast towards getting president Obama to back off having them all come before him and the American public by way of C-Span so the we voters can actually find out ourselves beyond media sound bites what the H___is exactually going on / not going on in Congress over this health care reform bill until they may even have it before the 27th.LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
That 39% rise in payments' dumb move by this insurance company here in Ca. sure did not help them any at all as it is right down main street's alley.(smile)
THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT...YES YOU HAVE SPOKEN WITHOUT GIVEING ANYONE AND OUT....
