CNN poll: Wide margin of support for public option

CNN poll: Wide margin of support for public option
by Jed Lewison
Wed Sep 02, 2009 at 05:40:05 PM PDT

CNN poll by Opinion Research, 1,010 adults, 8/28-31, +/- 3 pts (pdf):

Now thinking specifically about the health insurance plans available to most Americans, would you favor or oppose creating a public health insurance option administered by the federal government that would compete with plans offered by private health insurance companies?

Favor - 55%
Oppose - 41%
No opinion - 4%

3. Who Cares?!?

Did you know that the only time poll results matter is when the results will negatively affect a Democrat or Democratic policies? A poll showing a majority American support for the public option is inconsequential; what really matters is that 41% oppose the public option!
