Ouch... this is not promising for Obama and health care advocates. Not great for the reps in congress either but they're not in charge.

Well I'm sure libs like X and farleft willbe along shortly to tell us this poll is wrong an that Pew is biased. And the only real polls that count are the internet polls by the economist.
Obama seems to be now consistently polling in the mid 40's....44-46/47.
Ok libs, please proceed now in informing everyone Pew is a right wing hack pollster.

really? only 22% GOP and you still couldn't manipulate the poll any better than this? that's pretty scary for Dems

The significant number here is the 1 in 4 Democrats who are unsure or don't approve.
Where will they be at the end of next week?

So I'm judging from the posts here that polls of adults are now "deemed" accurate and true. I'll remember that the next time that excuse comes up...
