Support for Health Reform Growing


A new memo from White House pollster Joel Benenson "argues that support for President Barack Obama's health care plan has been building in the wake of his State of the Union speech in late January," according to The Fix.

"The goal of the memo, which is being distributed on Capitol Hill today, is a) build some sense of momentum for the bill in advance of the White House's March 18 timetable for passage and b) convince wavering Democratic members that their best course of action politically is to pass the bill and move on."

Mark Blumenthal sees the same trend: "Any way you slice it, there does appear to be a real tightening of opinion on health reform although as always, these results are snapshots and subject to change."
