New AARP Poll: Good News for President Obama

[Thrill]

Overnight Poll of the 45+ Population Following the Presidential Speech

AARP commissioned a nationwide survey of people aged 45 and older directly after a presidential address on health care reform to a joint session of Congress on September 9, 2009.

• Of those who had questions and concerns prior to the address, nearly three-quarters said that their questions and concerns were talked about or addressed during the speech. This includes 72 percent of Independents.

• Nearly seven in ten of those who reported hearing their questions and concerns talked about or addressed said that they were supportive of the proposals being talked about related to health care. This includes 63 percent of Independents.

• For each political affiliation, a majority of respondents said that reform of the health care system should be a priority for political leaders to address in 2009. This includes 70 percent of Independents.

4. The AARP lost all credibility when it...

tromped on it's own members and strongly backed the badly-flawed Medicare Part D. Lost a very large number of members when it did so.
