If you listened to the news recently, you were told that the number of people who support the repeal of Obamacare is decreasing. Note that you are being told this just as the House of Representatives is preparing to vote to repeal Obamacare. Why is that? It's so that any wimpy lawmakers will think that supporting repeal might cost them at the ballot box in 2012. Nevermind the fact that voting for Obamacare cost many lawmakers at the ballot box in 2010.
Well, when you look behind the numbers, what you are being told is not necessarily true. John Hinderaker at Power Line posted an article yesterday explaining how the poll taken on the repeal of Obamacare was skewed. If you follow the link above to the article, you will see three charts showing how the poll was taken. The difference in the numbers is whether the people asked the question were likely voters or not. When likely voters were asked (the Rasmussen Poll) whether or not they supported the repeal of Obamacare, fifty-five percent supported repeal. The number of likely voters supporting repeal has been constantly between fifty-three and sixty percent since the end of August.
