Obama's numbers on health care

If you listen to the tinfoil-hat-wearing right, Obama is dead in the water. According to TPM:

Obama's overall approval rating is 55%, with 41% disapproval. [...] On the economy, his approval is 47%, with 49% disapproval, down from a 55%-42% rating in May. On health care policy, he is at 44%-50%, another upside-down rating.

In a July 14 Gallup Poll, 86 percent of Americans think it's "extremely important" for healthcare reform to include allowing them to get insurance regardless of employment or medical status. 58 percent support taxing the rich to pay for healthcare. And we all know about the super-majority support for the public option.

In a June Gallup poll, only 34 percent of Americans are confident in the Republicans to make the right decisions on healthcare policy.

So here's what we're sure of.... 1)America doesn't want what the Republicans are offering. 2) there is broad public support for major changes in the healthcare system.

The numbers would seem to indicate that the president on the right track, but not pushing this with enough ferocity.
