According to the latest Research2000 poll posted in Daily Kos:
Given that the dominant story in the public conversation over the past week has been the health care townhall meetings, it is not completely unreasonable to suggest that the protest tactic employed by the opponents of reform (and at least tacitly cheered on by Congressional Republicans) has not had the desired effect of cratering Democratic numbers and resurrecting Republican ones.
Quite the opposite, this weeks shows a continuation of two trends apparent over the last month: a slow but palpable recovery in support for Congressional Democrats, and the perpetuation of a long slide in support for Congressional Republicans.
The finding shows President Obama's popularity still steady at 60 percent while the Republican slide continues.
The finding also confirms the latest Gallup finding I discussed that had our president's approval numbers at 63 percent.
If anything, these numbers prove that the rabble rousers the Fox propaganda channel, Republicans, and their insurance companies represent only a fringe of American society and not the mainstream when it comes to healthcare reform or anyone else.
It's time CNN and others stop legitimizing the right-wing goons and rabble rousers and expose them for what they are-- a fringe group that's clearly in the minority on healthcare reform despite the heavy dose of lies and disinformation they have unleashed against it.
