Since September, Mr. Obama's approval on
health care in the Pew Research Center poll declined four percentage
points, to 37%. His overall job approval dropped to 41% from 44%. Worse
are the hits to his credibility. In the Quinnipiac poll, 46% of
registered voters and 51% of independents believe Mr. Obama "knowingly
deceived" Americans when he promised they could keep their health plan
if they liked it.
Until now, many
people who disagreed with Mr. Obama's agenda still liked him. But a late
October Fox poll found his personal favorability at 45% and his
unfavorability at 50%. Duplicity will do that. And while the president
may think everything about ObamaCare will be OK soon, fear is growing
among Democrats who see little time and few ways to avoid a 2014
slaughter.
Even though most Americans haven't lost their health insurance yet the fear that they will seems to be gripping the US. Just from my anecdotal evidence there have been several conversations at work about Obamacare. This is the kind of problem that will eventually affect every American and not in a good way.
