favors while saying it doesn't go far enough."
from cnn
Thirty-nine percent of Americans questioned in a new CNN/ORC International poll say they support the nation's new health care law, up from 35% in December, which was a record low in CNN polling. The survey, released Tuesday, indicates that nearly all of the newfound support comes from upper-income and college-educated Americans.
Not all of the opposition to the health care law comes from conservatives: 39% say they oppose the law because it's too liberal, but 12% say they oppose it because it's not liberal enough. That means half the public either favors Obamacare or favors while saying it doesn't go far enough. Roughly 6% oppose the law but don't have an opinion on whether it is too liberal or not liberal enough.

BTW, have you heard that that is exactly what the ACA allows for ... implementing the ACA while building a more universal system? For more information, look at what Bernie's State is doing!

(1,569 posts)Somehow the writer of this article decided that the people that responded they 'oppose it because it's not liberal enough' actually 'favors it while saying it doesn't go far enough'. You can't just change oppose to favors. They are completely different things. I guess this obvious mistake was pointed out to the writer because it has been changed in the article (or it never existed and the OP made the change). It would have been helpful to have a link.

a good chunk - who came home for him, obviously.
