Dem Pollster: Zero Bounce From Passing Healthcare Takeover
Political Environment Continues to Collapse for Majority as Independents Flee
Top Obama Aide: Dems Will Enjoy Political Benefits From Passing Healthcare Takeover:
“I think as the American people become familiar with what this program is and what it isn't, they're going to be very, very happy with it.” (Rick Klein, “Axelrod: Public Will Grow 'Very, Very Happy' with Health Care Law,” ABC News, 3/30/10)
RED ALERT: Dem Pollster Says The Tailspin Continues, Democrats Saw Zero Bounce In ObamaCare Aftermath:
“Health care’s passage did not produce even a point rise in the president’s approval rating or affection for the Democratic Congress. Virtually every key tracking measure in April’s poll has remained unchanged, including the Democrats’ continued weakness on handling of the economy…With independents even more conservative and Republican-leaning in this survey, the congressional battle in 2010 looks like a dead-heat at best – a 12-point swing in this poll from 2008.” (“Is This the Final Chapter or a New Chapter?” Democracy Corps, 4/27/10)
