(R)asmussen Poll: 49% Oppose Health Care Plan that Doesnt Exist
The headline on Rasmussen is that 49% to 46% oppose the health care reform plan proposed by Obama and Congressional Democrats. Too bad there hasnt been one proposed yet. But details like that dont matter to Rasmussen.

They later go on to say that the question didnt describe the plan (that doesnt exist at the moment)

Sigh..another day of Bullshit Rasmussen polls.

And People wonder why we question them as a legit pollster?

1. Must we be bothered with a Rasmussen poll every day?
Did these people get the memo that the election is over?

2. Let them eat cake
Bottom line is that the American people want all their problems solved in a week and pay nothing for anything. Mission Impossible. So, if they fight the only chance they will ever have to do anything with the insurance companies who are screwing the life out of them, then I've come to the conclusion it's time to tell them "to eat cake" and let them fend for themselves. You can't help people who don't want to be helped.

Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 04:23 PM by fascisthunter
we need to spread the word about Rasmussen... their credibility needs to take a giant hit so the public can see what a fraud they are.

5. When you think about it
Hey, that's actually useful to know, when you think about it. It's absolutely a dead giveaway that their polls are stacked with anti-Democratic platform respondents, because no other poll has such an anti-reform response, does it? So while we usually suspect that the Rasmussen pool of respondents leans right (i.e., anti-Obama, anti-anything-Democratic), this is a dead giveaway that it's true.

7. Perhaps respondents don't oppose a Health Care Plan but oppose the 535 idiots in congress who failed
before and may fail again.

8. May be. But they did not ask whether they wanted more or less.
Who knows, may be 35 % want more and 15 % want less.
