According to the latest Rasmussen poll, support for the Democratic plan has fallen to just 38%. Opposition is at 56%, which matches the old high. Other indicators are strongly against the plan as well:
- Those who feel strongly oppose the plan by a two-to-one margin (43-21).
- The vast majority of both Republicans (83%) and independents (70%) oppose the plan.
- Seniors oppose the plan by a near two-to-one margin (60-34).
- A majority of every age group except the young-and-stupid (under 30) opposes the plan.
- By a four-to-one margin (60-16), the public believes that the plan will increase costs rather than reduce them.
- A majority (54%) believe the plan will hurt health care.
- Two-thirds (66%) recognize that free-market competition will do more than government regulation to reduce costs.
- Less than a third (31%) believe that Congress understands the reform it is considering.
Democrats have lost the debate, but seem ready to press on with a “reform” plan that the public does not want.
