CNN Poll Has ObamaCare down by 20 points

You would think that a CNN poll would be mostly liberals so this has to be some seriously scary news for Dems.

This is the obvious reason that Democrats “slam[med] the brakes” on health-care reform. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that their own internal polling on this issue took a dive over the last four weeks, starting with the slimy deals cut by Harry Reid in getting to cloture and continuing with the closed-door conferences at the White House, with the President and union lobbyists fighting with House and Senate Democrats to cut any kind of deal they could to let unions off the hook for the Senate’s Cadillac tax. The orgy of special-interest horse-trading has not only turned off the general populace on ObamaCare, but made Democrats into the kind of caricature they like to accuse Republicans of being.

Yup the sausage making part of the Bill had to turn off nearly everyone even if they wanted Health Care reform last year. That Union exemption from the Cadillac tax should have rubbed quite a few people the wrong way. The middle class may have looked at it as everyone is cutting a deal while they get stuck with the bill.
