63% Of Americans Want To Repeal Healthcare

Published by Daisy on May 26, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , .

According to Rasmussen, 63% of us think that the healthcare bill needs to die a quick death.

Some other stats for this fine Wednesday morning:

Currently, just 32% oppose repeal.

The new findings include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal of the health care bill and 25% who Strongly Oppose it.

Thirty-three percent (33%) of voters now believe the health care plan will be good for the country, down six points from a week ago and the lowest level of confidence in the plan to date. Fifty-five percent (55%) say it will be bad for the nation. Only three percent (3%) think it will have no impact.

Sixty-three percent (63%) of all voters expect the health care plan to increase the federal deficit. Just 12% expect the bill to push the deficit down, while 13% say it will have no impact.

Fifty-five percent (55%) say the plan will make the quality of health care in the country worse. Twenty percent (20%) expect it to improve the quality of health care, and 18% think quality will stay about the same.

But yeah…just keep on ignoring the masses, libs…

An Example Of A Positive Correlation

Check out these Drudge Headlines:

And then check out these Rasmussen Poll numbers:

Coincidence? Nope. According to the article, “The only day that Barack Obama’s Approval Index ratings were lower than today was last December 22. Like today, that came at a time when the President was making a strong push for his proposed health care legislation. Most voters have consistently opposed that plan.”

That’s our government representing us, folks. Pretty sickening, isn’t it?

Great News!

Barbara, you in danger, girl.

According to this, Barbara Boxer (D-CA), who prefers you call her Senator, dammit – is not looking good in the polls.  Three out of four people have an unfavorable view of her.

And according to this…

…the camera has a pretty unfavorable view of her as well.

Oooo – SNAP!

Guess There Are A Lot More Of Us Stockholm-Syndromed Freak Wackjobs Out There Than Anyone Realized. Go Figure.

Conservatives outnumber liberals now. And, I’m not getting this from Rasmussen, all of you out there that’ll tell me THOSE are skewed (because they aren’t in your favor). I’m getting it from Gallup. I believe liberals like Gallup. Or they did, anyway. Regardless, there’s a 1% margin of error.

More specifically from a poll last week, “the final year-end political ideology figures confirm Gallup’s initial reporting: conservatives (40%) outnumbered both moderates (36%) and liberals (21%) across the nation in 2009. More broadly, the percentage of Americans calling themselves either conservative or liberal has increased over the last decade, while the percentage of moderates has declined.”

The poll looks at the past decade, and it shows that less people are identifying themselves as “moderate,” and they’re going for either conservative or liberal these days. I myself was a moderate for many, many years, so I can relate. Basically, more and more people are identifying themselves as conservative, whereas the liberal front is losing some momentum. The main point? Political independents showed increased attachment to the “conservative” label in 2009, boosting the overall ranks of that group so that it now clearly outnumbers moderates in Gallup’s annual averages for the first time since 2004.

Huh. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that Americans, deep down, believe that socialism sucks. And that the government officials in the seats right now – especially the majority – could be easily replaced with poo-flinging chimpanzees. In fact, I’d venture to say that the poo-flinging chimps could probably make better decisions for this country. But, I’m one of those wackjobs in the right-wing-extremist minority majority, so what do I know….

You may want to pay attention to stuff like this, Dems.  The elections are getting closer. :-)

Obamamessiah’s Doing Badly In The Polls? Must Be Those Stupid Polls…

You know those Rasmussen polls that we reference here a lot? You know, the ones that are unbiased, data-driven polls showing how someone like The President of the United States is doing in the eyes of the American people?

Yeah, well, the Democrats have now taken their “compassionate” anger and directed it toward Mr. Rasmussen himself. You see, they don’t like Rasmussen because the numbers aren’t in their favor. It’s as simple as that, but they’re dancing around that simplicity to attempt to paint the polls as somehow flawed.

They don’t like the data, for one, but they also don’t like the way “the firm frames questions in its automated polls, which are the staple of its work.” It’s kind of like that Birkenstock-wearing, no-armpit-shaving, man-hating liberal professor at my southern undergraduate university that used to tell me that SATs were biased toward white males. You know, based on those English questions and math problems. Enlightening.

Rasmussen is defending himself by saying that “his numbers are trending Republican simply because he is screening for only those voters most likely to head to the polls — a pool of respondents, he argues, that just so happens to bend more conservative this election cycle.” Polling all adults — a method used by Gallup, another polling firm that conducts a daily tracking poll of Obama — Rasmussen acknowledged, is “always going to yield a better result for Democrats.”

Rasmussen is quick to point out the accuracy of his surveys — noting how close his firm was to predicting the final outcome in this fall’s New Jersey governor’s race. (Rasmussen’s final survey in the race showed Republican Chris Christie edging out Gov. Jon Corzine 46 percent to 43 percent. Christie beat Corzine 48 percent to 45 percent on Election Day.) And he argues that he was among the first pollsters to show Obama narrowing the gap with Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary.

But if you don’t like the message, well, you know the old saying…

I suppose 2010 and 2012 will show the reality. When a nice chunk of these Democrats who have IGNORED their constituents are booted out of office, I wonder who they’ll blame then?

Oh that’s right! I forgot for a second. They’ll blame BUSH, of course…

Even Though The President Can Do It Without Flinching, Numbers DON’T Lie…

In the wake of that midnight, “ram-it-on-through-victory” for healthcare that the majority of us don’t want….we have Obama’s poll numbers from yesterday. Which, I must say, are sucking some major monkey poo.

“25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.”

Keep up the stellar work, Bo! That whole “ignoring the majority of those stupid American suckers” thing is really working well for you.

Aaaaand, scene.

Ouch.

According to today’s Rasmussen Presidential Tracking poll, Bo’s not as popular with the lemmings as he once was this time last year. You can’t dispute the data. And I’m just here to mock it and be snarky, so see for yourself:

obama_approval_index_december_12_2009

25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16. That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.

Translation: Hopey-changey-flowers-and-butterfly-kisses can only get you so far. Eventually, the poppies mysteriously morph into monkey poo. Take a whiff, everyone…take a whiff.

Wow. Americans Are Kind Of Pissed Off Right Now.

According to Rasmussen Reports, the following surveys have been brought to light, and of course, I felt compelled to share:

And last but not least, The Rasmussen Reports “daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters strongly approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) strongly disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12.”

Keep up the stellar work, Dems!

The latest Rasmussen poll numbers are in, and as people with Actual Brains already suspected, they’re at a new low in terms of approval for Obama’s/Democrats’ health plan.

Maybe Obama should stop talking about it? I mean, it kiiiinda seems like everytime he gives another campaign healthcare speech, people just become more and more disapproving.

But here’s what really stood out for me in today’s results. Check out this quote: “Polling released last week shows that 58% of uninsured voters favor passage of the health care plan. However, 35% of the uninsured are opposed.”

I don’t know about you all, but I think it’s pretty telling that over a 1/3 of Americans WITHOUT INSURANCE don’t even want Obama’s plan. That’s how much of a crock of crap they think it is.

Let’s Look At The Current Numbers, Shall We?

In the latest Rasmussen poll, the numbers on healthcare are becoming increasingly clear:

  • Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide now oppose the health care reform proposed by President Obama
  • Just 43% now favor the proposal
  • Only 24% strongly favor it
  • 48% say that health care reform plan is at least somewhat likely to pass this year
  • 17% say passage is Very Likely
  • Only 22% of Americans believe that Congress has a good understanding of the healthcare legislation
  • Only 12% of Americans believe that opposition is fueled by sheer racism
  • 52% believe that the plan will lead to higher costs
  • 17% think that it will achieve the stated goal of lowering costs

Scott Rasmussen wrote in the Wall Street Journal that “68% of American voters have health insurance coverage they rate good or excellent … Most of these voters approach the health care reform debate fearing that they have more to lose than to gain.”

And how is all this affecting Democrat reelections? 

Several incumbent Democratic senators currently are behind in their reelection bids including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada, Chris Dodd in Connecticut and Michael Bennet in Colorado. Republicans appear to have a better shot than expected at hanging on to the New Hampshire Senate seat, and GOP incumbent Richard Burr leads in North Carolina. Democrats also trail in the 2009 governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia.

But nice try on the media blitz, Bo. Looks like avoiding your skeptics is really helping you make strides in convincing those skeptics that this is indeed a good plan.

The Good News And The Bad News

According to this,  Obama’s approval index rating has dropped to a new low this week, down to -14. 

41% of voters strong disapprove of Obama’s performance as POTUS.  That’s the good news.  It gives me hope when, week after week, people are seemingly waking up from their Obama-Will-Save-The-World-Because-He’s-A-Rockstar stupors. 

The bad news?  27% of the nation’s voters strongly approve of Obama’s performance as POTUS.  That’s still a huge bunch of disillusioned, misguided, naive, and helplessly reality-challenged people.

There is much work to be done.

Democrat Playbook

So, let’s just review Democratic tactics for ignoring their constituents:

1. Call anyone who has an opposing viewpoint a member of an angry mob. Check!

2. Patronize anyone who has an opposing viewpoint by telling them their anger is manufactured, and that they are part of an “astroturf” organized extremist group. Check!

3. If #1 and #2 don’t work, chalk off any protestors as being “not representative” of the American viewpoint, regardless of the fact that 85% of Americans are happy with their current healthcare plan and that support for Obamacare is dwindling by the day according to Rasmussen polls.

Done and done.

That Sound You Hear? It’s Obama’s Approval Ratings Taking A Tumble.

Just saw this on Drudge:

For First Time, Obama’s Approval Rating Falls Below 50%

Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance, RASMUSSEN will report later this morning.

This marks the first time his overall approval rating has ever fallen below 50% among Likely Voters nationwide. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of Democrats continue to approve of the President’’s performance while 80% of Republicans disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 37% offer a positive assessment.

The President earns approval from 51% of women and 47% of men.

Come ON, chicks. Get over the smooth talk and stop coveting Michelle’s arms and just come join us. It’s so fun on the conservative side of the spectrum.
