Q Poll: Voters Down On National Health-Care Reform

Posted by: Joseph Spector - Posted in Uncategorized on Aug 05, 2009

A Quinnipiac poll this morning says American voters by a 55 percent to 35 percent margin are more worried that Congress will spend too much money and add to the deficit than they are that Congress will not act at all.

And by a 57 percent to 37 percent margin, voters say health-care reform should be dropped if it adds “significantly” to the federal deficit. Seventy-two percent of voters do not believe that President Obama will keep his promise to overhaul the health-care system without adding to the deficit.

Twenty-one percent of voters say the plan will improve the quality of care they receive, while 36 percent say it will hurt their quality of care and 39 percent say it will make no difference.

“President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress appear to be losing the public relations war over their plan to revamp the nation’s health care system,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
