Latest poll on healthcare reform shows support dwindling

  The latest Rasmussen healthcare reform tracking poll is out and it shows a continued drop in support for this legislation.

  Overall only 38% of those polled favor this version of the bill while 56% oppose it, but it gets worse (or better from my perspective):

Only 16% now believe passage of the plan will lead to lower health care costs. Nearly four times as many (60%) believe the plan will increase health care costs. Most (54%) also believe passage of the plan will hurt the quality of care.

  On the issue of healthcare costs and quality of care people do not think that this bill will help, in fact they think this bill will do more damage than good.

  Among the age group most likely to vote:

Among the nation’s senior citizens, 34% favor the health care plan and 60% are opposed.

  All age groups oppose the healthcare reform bill except those under thirty. It is not surprising that people under thirty favor this bill, after all they don’t want to work for anything and think that everything should be handed to them. It is only natural that once mommy and daddy either can’t, won’t, or don’t give them what they want that they would naturally look towards the ever expanding mammary of the federal government.

  The news isn’t all bad for this bill however, 73% of Democrats favor the bill. But what should be most concerning to the president is the fact that 70% of independent voters oppose this bill.
