Support for Obamacare drops to 41%

Rasmussen Reports:

Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan.

Senior citizens are less supportive of the plan than younger voters. In the latest survey, just 33% of seniors favor the plan while 59% are opposed. The intensity gap among seniors is significant. Only 16% of the over-65 crowd Strongly Favors the legislation while 46% are Strongly Opposed.

For the first time ever, a slight plurality of voters now express doubt that the legislation will become law this year. Forty-six percent (46%) say passage is likely while 47% say it is not. Those figures include 18% who say passage is Very Likely and 15% who say it is Not at All Likely. Sixty percent (60%) are less certain.

...

The Democrats are committed to passing some form of health care and as these numbers indicate it is going to be bad news for Democrats in 2010 if they do. The only thing worse than not passing something is passing it. Because it will not take effect until 2013, that will give voters plenty of incentive to vote against Democrats in the next two elections.

This Politico story says there are a lot of crazy polls out there. Most of them tend to show support for the Democrat plan.
