There's a big difference between well informed individuals who take time out each day or week to read, listen or watch good sources of information on important topics and the average Joe (Republican or Democrat). I assume you're well aware of that undeniable fact.

So I'm amused at the distortion "liberals are stupid" attempt. Let's have the exact same poll on if people support a bill with a mandate and without a public option/Medicare buy-in. What makes you think the average person out there is aware that the current bill is in fact a mandate without a public option/Medicare buy-in, etc.? At any rate I unsubscribed from MoveOn precisely because they were backing this POS bill, and I assume I'm not the only one. So the fact that remaining MoveOn members support the bill is not surprising, especially since MoveOn has sent out messages focusing on positive aspects and ripping (BS) Republican talking points, etc. So let's talk about some real polls (source: McClatchy).

Don't buy the spin: public is still split over health care proposal

"When you hear Republicans and talk show hosts say the country is overwhelmingly opposed to the health care legislation pending in Congress, don’t believe it.

And when you hear Democrats say momentum is building in recent weeks for the proposal, don’t believe that, either.

The fact is, the American public is pretty evenly divided over the proposal, as it’s been for months. Oh, there have been slight moves, with each side rising or dropping a few percentage points. But most reputable polls show the country split.

The new NBC-Wall Street Journal, a widely respected poll conducted jointly by a Democratic pollster and a Republican pollster, this week finds 36 percent think the Obama plan is a good idea, while 48 percent think it’s a bad idea.

(Another 15 percent still have no opinion – watch these people, they could decide this fall’s elections for control of Congress if they vote.)

The overall divided is very similar to the numbers last July, before the August town hall meetings that showcased a lot of anger at the proposal. Then, 36 percent thought the proposal was good idea and 42 percent thought it was a bad idea.

There has been an increase in opposition since spring. Since last April, support has risen from 33 percent to 36 percent, while opposition has risen from 26 percent to 48 percent.

But the ranks of those who think it’s a bad idea has never topped 50 percent in the poll – hardly overwhelming. And the numbers overall have been all but stuck for months – hardly the momentum the White House claims...
