All I see on the MSM is the straight up approve / disapprove question.


Doesn't KoS pay for enough polling to help us get some numbers on people who are still unhappy because there is no public option or single payer program?

Why are we letting this distortion continue?

1. there was one CNN reported- on which the follow up question showed
that of those who'd voted that they didn't like the reform because it didn't go FAR enough- I'll go look for a link.

2. here it is
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/12/AR2010031203719.html
...snip...
"Let's take the CNN poll from early January -- the most negative independent poll on health care and one that predated President Obama's proposal. Only 40 percent supported the bills passed by Congress, while 57 percent opposed them. But in a crucial follow-up question, a net of 10 percent of all Americans opposed the bill because it was "not liberal enough." If one makes the reasonable assumption that these people are far more likely to side with supporters of the president's plan than with Republicans who are obstructing it, the results would show that 50 percent favor the plan or want a broader one, while only 45 percent oppose the plan."

Phrased as "leaving government with an inadequate role" could be more eloquent but it is CNN.



The bad thing is that there are still 56% who think that it gives the government to large a role. I assume it is the way the question is phrased.
