Gallup Poll Shows 21 Points Loss in Four Weeks For Health Care Bill (Obama To Need More Planted Kid Qustions)

WOW

Gallup: Public Support for Health Care Drops 21 Points in Four Weeks (UPDATED)
Interesting result from Gallup in my e-mailbox today: When asked, "Would you advise your member of Congress to vote for or against a healthcare reform bill when they return to Washington in September, or do you not have an opinion?" 35 percent said vote for, 36 percent said vote against, and 29 percent said "no opinion."
UPDATE: Campaign Spot reader Avinash calls my attention to the July 14 Gallup results: "A USA Today/Gallup poll finds 56% of Americans in favor and 33% opposed to Congress' passing major healthcare reform legislation this year."
This is a 21-percentage-point drop in support.

Hmm. I think the Obama administration better come up with a new plan of action. I don't think answering questions from precious little girls about people with mean signs is going to work eiither. See Shocker! Little Girl Who Asked Obama Question at New Hampshire Town Hall Was a Plant

What is the problem here. Just one Minute among other things cites this from from WSJ

The president has a problem. For, despite a great election victory, Mr. Obama, it becomes ever clearer, knows little about Americans. He knows the crowds—he is at home with those. He is a stranger to the country’s heart and character.
...
Who would have believed that this politician celebrated, above all, for his eloquence and capacity to connect with voters would end up as president proving so profoundly tone deaf? A great many people is the answer—the same who listened to those speeches of his during the campaign, searching for their meaning.
It took this battle over health care to reveal the bloom coming off this rose, but that was coming. It began with the spectacle of the president, impelled to go abroad to apologize for his nation—repeatedly. It is not, in the end, the demonstrators in those town-hall meetings or the agitations of his political enemies that Mr. Obama should fear. It is the judgment of those Americans who have been sitting quietly in their homes, listening to him.

I think the emphasis should be on TONE DEAF. For the early promises of this "pragmatic" President there seems to be little proof of that.
