Some interesting numbers out of Gallup this morning.
The overall spread of Disapproval - Approval slipped slightly from 8 points in Aug to 5 now.
The approval number went from
Independents: 34 in Aug to 39 now.
Democrats: 71 in Aug to 83 now.
But what I find most interesting is the breakdown by age.
Approve Disaprove
18-29 51 44
30-49 46 47
50-64 41 54
65+ 38 54
It's kind of hard not to conclude that the closer you get to Government sponsored Medicare, the more selfish you are in denying other people the right to have partially subsidized insurance. But it may also just reflect that the Tea bagger wackyness is concentrated in older Americans.
But the high numbers of youth who approve of the ACA may translate into getting the young people the system needs to succeed to actually sign up.
