what poll numbers is Hannity talking about. He is deliberately misstating the facts.

did he miss this article

Poll: Support for Public Option Grows
CBS News Poll Shows More Americans Support a Government-Sponsored Health Care Option After the President's Speech to Congress

or this one

The new CBS/New York Times poll not only shows overwhelming support for the public option -- it shows that a plurality of self-identified Republicans are for it, too.
The poll asked this question: "Would you favor or oppose the government offering everyone a government administered health insurance plan -- something like the Medicare coverage that people 65 and older get -- that would compete with private health insurance plans?"
The top-line result is 65% in favor, 26% opposed. Among Democrats only, it's 81%-12%, and independents are at 61%-30%. And among Republican respondents, 47% are in favor, to 42% opposed.

maybe he skipped this on purpose

A New York Times/CBS poll found that 65% of respondents want a public health care option, while only 26% opposed such a plan.

He sure as hell didn't read past the first page of the poll. What the public doesn't support is Health Care reform without a public option.
But hey why confuse fox viewers with facts that nullify their Tea Parties.

Half of the public thinks the government should require all Americans
to have health insurance, as long as financial help is provided to
those who cannot afford it. Most Democrats support this idea, while
Republicans oppose it.

SHOULD THE GOV’T REQUIRE ALL AMERICANS TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE?
All Dem Rep Ind
Yes 50% 70% 32% 43%
No 43 23 59 52

And there continues to be support for a “public option” -- a health
insurance plan like Medicare administered by the government.

GOV’T HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN
Now 8/2009 7/2009 6/2009
Favor 65% 60% 66% 72%
Oppose 26 34 27 20

But those who favor a public option divide on whether they would
support overall health care reform without the public option. 42%
would, but 39% would not.

SUPPORT HEALTH CARE REFORMS WITHOUT A PUBLIC OPTION?
View on public option:
All Favor Oppose
Favor 38% 42% 35%
Oppose 40 39 48
Don’t know 22 19 17

In principal, half of all Americans think the federal government should
guarantee health insurance for all Americans, the lowest number since
the question was first asked in 1996. Four in 10 think this is not the


responsibility of the federal government.

SHOULD GOVT. GUARANTEE HEALTH INSURANCE
FOR ALL AMERICANS?
Now 7/2009 6/2009 2/2007 7/2000 8/1996
Yes 51% 55% 64% 64% 62% 56%
No 40 38 30 27 29 38

Americans under the age of 64 think the government should guarantee
health care for all, while those over 65 – who are already eligible for
Medicare – do not.

In addition, less than half of all Americans think the government should
guarantee health insurance for all Americans if it would mean either
their health insurance costs would go up, their taxes would go up, or
that the budget deficit would increase.


However, respondents said that President Obama had not been clear on health care reform. Fifty-five percent said he had not explained his plan clearly, and many felt under-informed about the policies under discussion

1. Were Hannity's lips moving? If so, it is a good indicator that he is lying
