Majority disapprove of Obama's handling of health care

Gallup:

As the debate over healthcare reform intensifies, the latest USA Today/Gallup poll finds that more Americans disapprove (50%) than approve (44%) of the way U.S. President Barack Obama is handling healthcare policy. There is a tremendous partisan gap in these views, with 74% of Democrats but only 11% of Republicans approving. Independents are more likely to disapprove than to approve of Obama's work on healthcare.

...

Obama's marks on healthcare are among the lowest of seven issues tested in the July 17-19 poll, better than only his rating for handling the federal budget deficit. He generally receives higher ratings on international issues than on domestic ones, with majority approval on all three matters relating to foreign policy. Americans are about equally divided on his handling of the economy, easily the top issue in the minds of the public.

...
Governing is so much harder than campaigning, especially if you have never had any executive experience. What we are seeing is that Obama lets the Democrats in the Congress craft key legislation which puts it into the hands of the liberals who run the committees and they are out of touch with the real world that exist outside their districts. If he gets a health care bill it will be a loser for him and the Democrats.
