New Polls

Having been glued to my Samsung television watching the debates on health care reform, I have noticed that not only are Americans not satisfied with how health care reform is going, but they are also still worried about the economy and even the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
A McClatchy-Ipsos poll released Tuesday found that 40 percent of Americans favored the sort of health overhaul that Obama’s been talking about and 45 percent opposed it. In the poll of 1,057 adults conducted Thursday through Monday, three-fourths also wanted incremental change versus fixing everything at once. Asked about the war in Afghanistan , only 29 percent thought that the U.S. is winning. Just 40 percent of Americans thought that things are moving in the right direction.
President Obama has seen his approval rating drop to below 50% and appears frustrated with Americans response to his economic stimulus spending and other programs that will drastically increase the deficit.
