CNN Poll: Only 25% want Dems to pass their health bills

A new poll from CNN/Opinion Research Corporation shows that only a quarter of the public want Congress to pass health care legislation similar to the bills passed by both chambers last year, with 48 percent saying lawmakers should work on an entirely new bill and a quarter saying Congress should stop all work on health care reform.

According to the survey, Americans are still split on the public option, and they don’t like the idea of requiring everyone in the U.S. to have health insurance.

Here is a breakdown of Democrat, Republican and Independent voters:

- A majority of Republicans questioned, 54 percent, want Congress to start from scratch, with just under 4 in 10 saying lawmakers should halt work on health care reform and just 6 percent saying Congress should pass into law the current legislation.

- Nearly half of all Democrats say Congress should pass legislation similar to the bills passed by both chambers, with nearly 4 in 10 Democrats saying Congress should start from scratch and just 1 in 10 saying lawmakers should stop all work on health care.

- Fifty-two percent of Independents want Congress to start work on a new bill, with 27 percent saying lawmakers should stop all work, and 18 percent saying that the current legislation should be passed into law.

    Great, but will we vote out the progressives in November, ‘10? I mean Pilosi, Ried, and the rest of them asap! I think not because immigrants being allowed citizenship way back since after the civil war have had what Sociologist call, “External” Types of Personality meaning “fate is the hunter” kind of personalities. However, before the civil war, we were “Internal” Types Personalities; meaning that we felt that we controlled our own destiny! We can thank the “Jesuit” Priests coming to America with the second group of Pilgrims for this happening to us! Slaves were not dealt with during our Revolution because they were saving it for the right time in the future! It’s true! That’s exactly how Lucifer works with Israel! Did you know that only Britain (Ephraim) and America(Manesseh) were given the Name Israel? Did you know that the Bible says that Judah would call itself Israel in the last days, “but not in truth and righteousness! It’s not too late,yet! For more information, see info@icyahweh.org
