I hope for -20.  But it seems that is just not possible.   We get so close, and then he escapes.



Woohoo!  :rocker: :nelson:

If Rassmussen increases polling Seniors that watched the summit yesterday...that number is going to get significantly higher!

Hi,

If anyone watched Hannity tonight the pollster Frank (someone) had a group from Philadelphia to discuss the health care summit.  1/2 democrats and 1/2 republicans.  18 of what appeared to be 20 are thoroughly disgusted and almost all of them want the health care bill scrapped and start over.  If the senate rams it through they will be livid.

I really find it hard to see any kind of bump in BO's ratings after seeing that focus group.

Laura Ingram was on O'Reilly and she feels the public is more engaged, and understands this health care bill, more than most any piece of legislation in recent history which is why they are so opposed to it.  The more BO pushes, the more the public pushes back.

regards,
5412

I think it is actually worse than what Luntz & Rats. say it is. Taking 500 billion out of medicare, cutting payments to doctors and hospitals plus raising taxes to redistribute those savings and revenues to those who will pay nothing is not a winning program. I wish this abortion would just die.

Data for these updates is collected via nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, just one-third of the interviews for today’s update were collected following the President’s health-care summit. Sunday morning will be the first update based entirely upon interviews conducted after the summit.

By a 46% to 29% margin, Democrats say it would be better for workers if they were dropped from their employers health insurance coverage and enrolled in a government plan. Republicans and unaffiliated voters disagree. Voters are divided on support for a “public option.”

There are times when you are glad to be wrong.

Now if we can only bump this up to -100....

I love it when Lord Zero hosts "summits", whether beer or health care.

I think it'll be worse by Monday.  We haven't seen the 3 days they post from polling yet have we?

Nope, but that would be tomorrow's poll. At least I think that Rasmussen posts a new one on Sundays.

The more people who see clips of the health summit and his blatant arrogance....the higher it's going to go.  :evillaugh:

Hell, the longer they talk about HCR the worse it is going to get.  That is the ultimate in arrogance.  People don't want it yet they keep talking about it, damn how stupid can 'O' and his administration be?

Never mind, don't answer that.

My brother is 42 and his wife isn't quite 40 and they live in Chicago. His wife is very liberal and he's kind of middle of the road. Both have their Master's - his in Business Engineering and her's in Human Resources. Both are well into 6 figures in their jobs.

I know she voted for Obama...I think he did, but am not positive.

She has pretty good job security with her company - or as good as it can get these days. He works for a company that manufactures microchips and they have had a lot of layoffs. So far he's ok....but the economy is having a great effect on his company along with all the overseas outsourcing.

We were on the phone yesterday afternoon talking about the economy and the health care etc.

He's really angry that the government is spending all it's time on health care and not paying attention to the economy and worried that we are heading straight for a depression and the government is totally ignoring it.

At the end of about a 3-4 minute rant....

I asked.....

So.....how's that hope and change stuff working for you?     :fuelfire:

I thought at first he was going to hang up on me.

It was so nice to hear a semi-liberal realize they may have made a very bad choice.  :evillaugh:

Lord Zero came out, made a pronouncement about helping the victims in Chile.  He'll get a bump from that in a day or two.  His base seems to love when he spends our money.

His base might be thrilled but the rest of us may be getting tired of bailing out every country in the world. Money does not grow on trees. We need to cut back. Let the private sector donate to the victims.

I look for a 25% point spread. We need more summits.

I'm wondering if the help would be for search and rescue teams rather than to the extent that Haiti was helped.

Holy crap.    :popcorn:

Hi,

Gonna go even lower if reconciliation is continued to be mentioned.  Only way he can get his approval rating to go up will be to say he is listening, scrap the bill and start over.
