Well within the margin of error..so your statement has a good chance of being false

14. Besides, 46% is not a majority |

Unless you're talking about Republicans.

what the fuck does that mean? Do you mean covered as in after you've paid big bucks for premiums and then counting deductibles and co-pays? Is that what you mean?

3. Since there is probably a plus/minus factor in that poll I would say that it is a toss up |
|
as to whether the American people support (this bill) or not. Since you didn't post the actual poll, I have no idea what the poll actually entailed.

6. The relevant number is the Republican handling of healthcare reform numbers: 59% disapproval. |
|
That's not gonna get 'em a congressional majority in 2010.
They're screwed no matter what.

13. Based on the GOP approve/disapprove #s, likely 10% of that 45% are people who want a stronger HCR |
|
plan that includes a public option. So yes even that number is a pretty good one for Democrats. Because that 10% is darn sure not going to vote Republican. Will they stay home? Maybe. Or maybe they will try to elect more Democrats to increase the chances of improving the plan and getting a public option added.

18. Up 10 points... up 10 points... |
|
It was around 35% a month ago.
Obama is one hell of a salesman... when he decides to sell.
