42% Of Uninsured Don’t Approve O-Care

From Rasmussen:

Among the Uninsured, 58% Favor President’s Health Care Plan

Sunday, September 20, 2009

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters without health insurance favor passage of the health care plan proposed by President Obama and Congressional Democrats. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of 504 uninsured voters found that 35% are opposed.

Those figures include 30% who Strongly Favor the plan and 26% who are Strongly Opposed.

These results were obtained from nightly tracking surveys conducted from September 8-17, a time frame that included the President’s speech and subsequent bounce. Among all voters surveyed during this time frame, 46% favored passage of the health care plan. After the bounce wore off, support for the President’s plan fell to 43%.

Perhaps the most striking thing about the results is how much they mirror the results of those with insurance. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of uninsured Republicans oppose the plan while 88% of Democrats favor it. Those not affiliated with either party are evenly divided.

Forty-eight percent (48%) of voters without health insurance are Democrats and 24% Republican.

Forty-four percent (44%) of the uninsured are politically conservative, 26% moderate, and 27% liberal. Uninsured liberals overwhelmingly support the plan while most uninsured conservatives are opposed.

Thirty-five percent (35%) believe that if the legislation passes, the quality of health care will improve. Thirty-one percent (31%) say it will get worse.

Forty-one percent (41%) of the uninsured believe that passage of the legislation will increase the cost of health care while 26% believe it will cut costs…

Of course we are still wondering what this “health care plan proposed by President Obama and Congressional Democrats” is.

Even Mr. Obama says there are five Congressional plans.

And, collectively, they only contain 80% of what he wants in them.
