Obamacare: Obama’s Speech NOT Moving Poll Numbers
So say the folks at Pollster.com
An ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted Sept. 10-12 shows no statistically significant change in Obama’s approval on health care or support for health care reform compared with a poll conducted August 10-12 (via Kaus). At best, Obama might have regained the ground he lost in late August — a CBS News poll (PDF) conducted Sept. 10 showed a 12 point increase in approval of the president on health care compared with a poll conducted August 27-31, but that poll also showed no change in the percentage of Americans who think health care reform would help them personally.
Flap thinks the Obamacare plan with the “public option” is indeed dead. The President may dance around the issue or ram his nationalization plan through the Congress.
Both at his political peril from the LEFT and RIGHT.

I find it quite amusing that this inexperienced president is discovering that his rhetorical skills on the campaign trail do not necessarily translate to success in the Halls of Congress. I recently took a class regarding Presidential Power from a professor who was responsible for many of the policy decisions in the Ford Administration, and the juxtaposition of the scholarly theories on political success with the president’s actions is strikingly discordant.

Hm, interesting poll results. I would have thought there would be a greater effect from his speech. -Michelle
