A healthcare poll revealed that 63% of Americans want Congress to keep working on passing a comprehensive health care reform bill. The survey took place Thursday through Monday and involved more than 1,000 voters.
The key question was, “Do you think lawmakers in Washington should keep trying to pass a comprehensive health care reform plan, or should they give up on comprehensive health care reform?” Joel Connelly from Seattle PI states, “Sixty-three percent said “Keep Trying” while 34 percent opted for “Give Up.” By an 88 percent-to-8 percent margin, Democrats opted for trying. So did Independents, by a 56 percent-to-39 percent division. By contrast, by a 55 percent-to-42 percent margin, Republicans opted for the give-up option.”
Other questions were focused on voter’s opinions of how well or badly Obama and Republicans in Congress are working together. Connelly says the presidential question was, “Do you think Obama is doing too much, too little, or about the right amount to compromise with Republicans on important issues?” Forty-four percent said that he isn’t doing enough, 45% said he is doing the proper amount, and 9% said he is doing too much.
