More on the new poll numbers Fox can suck on

Earlier, I posted a link to some new poll numbers that Fox, after lying about HCR numbers for months, can suck on. Here's another take from Krugman

Compare and contrast:

WSJ editorial, March 19:

This is what happens when a willful President and his party try to govern America from the ideological left, imposing a reckless expansion of the entitlement state that most Americans, and even dozens of Democrats in Congress, clearly despise.

Gallup, March 22:


Actually, it’s not clear whether public opinion has changed all that much: a substantial fraction of those who disapproved of the reform did so because it didn’t go far enough. Anyway, true to form, one of the key talking points of reform’s opponents — that passing reform was an outrage because it denied the clear will of the people — turns out to be completely bogus.

Remember, the more accurate post-passage numbers won't be out until Thursday-ish. But these are the first numbers I've seen in a while that actually differentiate between those that were unsatisfied because they feared IRS agents putting down gran'ma and those who were unsatisfied because the legislation didn't go far enough.

Huzzah! Excelsior!
