Poll-a-Palooza

Lots of good stuff in recent Rasmussen polls:

  • Voters give the GOP the edge over Democrats on nearly every issue. Most significantly, for the first time voters prefer the GOP for health care (44-41). The GOP also leads on the economy (46-40), social security (43-39), and taxes (51-35).
  • Support for Congressional health care reform has fallen to a new low, with 42% in support against 53% opposed. Those who feel strongly are opposed 44-26. A broad majority of independent voters (62%) oppose it, most of them strongly.
  • By a 51-48 margin, voters disapprove of President Obama’s job performance. Among those who feel strongly, the president trails 38-30.
  • The GOP maintains its lead (now 42-38) over the Democrats on the generic ballot for the seventh straight week.
  • Pat Toomey is crushing Arlen Specter, 48-36.

UPDATE: By a 54-35 margin, voters prefer no health reform at all to the bill being considered by Congress.
