Fifty-two percent of people questioned say the president's policies will move the country in the right direction. An equal percentage feel the same way about the policies of the Democrats in Congress.
What do Americans think of Republican policies? Forty-three percent say the GOP's policies will move the country in the right direction. Nearly half of those polled said congressional Republicans would move the country in the wrong direction.
But the percentage of people who think Obama will move the country in the right direction has dropped 11 points since May, while congressional Democrats have seen a 5 point dip. Congressional Republicans have seen a 4 point rise over the same period.
We see polls every week about President Obama's approval ratings on health care, overall, energy and economy. We've seen repeated polling on how Americans have changed their views on the Democratic Party or President Barack Obama's health care plans. We're told that the ratings just keep on dropping. Well folks, why are they dropping? Do you see any polls telling you that? I don't. They leave that part of the story out of their polls.
Do they not like the plans because it's not what Obama promised during his campaign? Do they not like them because they include a public option? Do they not want medicare for all? Why have they stopped supporting the plans?
When will some reputable pollsters finally take a poll asking for a reason why a person has stopped liking Obama or the Democratic Party's plans?
Sorry this is so short of a diary but I wanted to find out why support for Obama/Dem's health care reform is dropping. Please do the poll I've provided
