This comes from pollsters to the last two Democratic presidents.
Nothing has been more disconcerting than to watch Democratic politicians and their media supporters deceive themselves into believing that the public favors the Democrats’ current health-care plan. Yes, most Americans believe, as we do, that real health-care reform is needed. And yes, certain proposals in the plan are supported by the public.
However, a solid majority of Americans opposes the massive health-reform plan. Four-fifths of those who oppose the plan strongly oppose it, according to Rasmussen polling this week, while only half of those who support the plan do so strongly. Many more Americans believe the legislation will worsen their health care, cost them more personally and add significantly to the national deficit. Never in our experience as pollsters can we recall such self-deluding misconstruction of survey data.
This is what happens when an adoring press corps (silent “p”, Barry) laps up every word The One says as gospel. The yes-men on the inside tell the president what he wants to hear and the yes-men of the MSM cheer it on.
He is going to try to ram this through no matter what the people want or think. Big Brother knows best.
