Public Support for Obamacare Continues to Erode

Rasmussen has the numbers:

Public support for the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats has fallen to a new low as just 42% of U.S. voters now favor the plan. That’s down five points from two weeks ago and down eight points from six weeks ago.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that opposition to the plan has increased to 53%, up nine points since late June.

More significantly, 44% of voters strongly oppose the health care reform effort versus 26% who strongly favor it. Intensity has been stronger among opponents of the plan since the debate began.

Those intensity numbers are very difficult to turn around. Obama has probably lost that 44% for good no matter how many drug maker-sponsored ads they run or how many town hall attendees the SEIU beats up.
