Allies of President Obama have paid his two favorite advertising firms $12 million to push his health care plan. But they’ll probably need a lot more money than that.
A new poll from Rasmussen Reports shows that 54 percent of Americans would rather see Congress pass no health care bill this year. Only 35 percent believe that passage of the bill being developed in Congress bill would be better than passing no bill at all.
Two key cross-tabs: First, only 60 percent of Democrats prefer passage of the congressional plan, whereas only 23 percent of independents felt the same way. Second, middle income voters — people making between $40,000 to $75,000 per year, are the most strongly opposed.
