The Worm Has Turned: Obamacare Support At Record Highs - time to turn the screw on Republicans [View all]

[Fred Sanders]

"The worm has turned. Republicans have figured out that running around simply screaming that America needs to "Repeal Obamacare!" isn't going to work this fall. As Bobby Jindal's recent foray into the wonderful world of health care reform proposals indicates, they know for sure it won't work in 2016.
But if you don't want to believe Jindal, and want actual data, we've got that on our side too. Earlier this week, support for Obamacare reached the highest level achieved in any of the 20 polls done by ABC/Washington Post. With 49 supporting and 48 percent opposed, this is a serious turnaround from ABC/WaPo's numbers from last November (after the botched rollout of healthcare.gov) that showed 40 percent supporting and 57 percent."

Amid some sage advice:


"We have to go on offense and hang "Repeal Obamacare" around their necks. We must make them run on taking away health insurance from what will be, a year from now, tens of millions of Americans. If they're smart, they'll be running away from repeal faster than you can say "former Senator Mitch McConnell."

ABC poll and commentary:

"While still shy of a majority, 49 percent support is numerically the highest on record - albeit by a single point - in more than 20 ABC/Post polls since August 2009. The previous high was 48 percent in November 2009. The low was 39 percent in April 2012; the average, 45 percent.

Taking it another way, while not statistically significant, this survey's +1 positive score for the law is a first. Other than an even 47-47 percent in July 2012, it's been numerically negative in every other measurement, ranging from -1 to last November's -17, averaging -5 points."

Republicans will run on the Ryan/Koch budget and repeal Obamacare for tens of millions.
If we run on a working fix of the broken health care system, minimum wage increases and equality....we win, by a landslide.

What really gets me is how the mass media was in such a frenzy over a glitchy website, but now that the projected numbers, the same numbers from the same sources, have been exceeded, they stand mute. And not just mute, they in the corporate media, perhaps shocked and awed by their own incompetence, will now never mention the numbers without carrying water for the Republican propagandists that still attack the numbers, without regard to the projected enrolment numbers always being subject to cancellations, unpaid, etc. latter factored in.....the unawareness of their own ignorance is bottomless...the mass media is the enemy my friends as much as the Republicans.
Fight fear with facts, slam them over their hard heads repeatedly with nothing more than the facts.
