going to pennsylvania, arizona, wisconsin, michigan. it s really the twitter account that we re seeing is really the re rhetoric we all reported on on the campaign trail. that said, i mean, it was just, what, a couple of weeks ago, when the president stood in the white house after the congre congressional baseball game and said, quote, honestly, we d be doing a lot better, and i know the country would be doing a lot better, end quote, if we all tapped into that unity that was displaced. so, i mean, it s the fourth of july weekend and the president is entitled to use his bully pulpit or his twitter account however he wants, but, i mean, i think if you re senator lisa murkowski or senator collins, two prominent republicans who are, you know, the swing votes on a major piece of health care legislation, they ve got a lot of questions they re going to answer to, not about health care poll i is but now about these tweets. are you hearing because, you know, this is basically borne out of
take to that microphone at the front of the room, and this is at the presidential center in little rock. he wants to break down the affordable health care act into bite size and easily swallowed bits and pieces own as oba obama care. so how badly is it needed in a health care poll just last month found that 44% of american people think that obama care doesn t even exist any more. that it was repealed or struck down by the supreme court. that didn t happen, it was just the opposite. 67% of people in america say they have little or nothing about health care exchanges. and that is basically the backbone. and those exchanges, they get
so the communications challenge is they weren t able to show the american people that the health care plan won t create jobs. if the administration made a choice, even though they knew the american people wanted to focus on jobs, the communications challenge is to connect health care to employment. therein lies the arrogance. the american people say, we care about jobs. you are doing health care. you get the health care poll and the american people say, we don t want the health care and they say, this is what we are getting. so it shows that the administration is not listening to the priorities. but the drip, drip, drip of information about the health care bill about the increase in taxes, how you are not going to be able to use your hsa to pay for regular purchases like you were the past several years. the tax on selling your home at 3.8% and then what you find out, everybody s worried about spending and then have you volker say we might have have to
over there, heidi. all right. there s a couple numbers out there showing conflicting signs about whether president obama is going to be getting a bump out of this. the obama job approval according to the gallup and usa today is at 47% approval. 50% disapprove. a cnn post health care poll has president at 51%, that s up 5, 48% disapprove. heidi, which one do you want to pay attention to? well you know what, i think a lot of people are upset. our tea party last week in searchlight had about 20,000 people despite what they try to tell you. they try to make the number low. a lot of people are upset about the health care bill. i would go with the higher disapproval rating. i think that s more accurate. todd? it s a snap shot in time. the more important thing is the trajectory. look at the two weeks obama has had in the last two weeks passing historic health care reform, landmark student lending reform, a major arms deal with russia, arms limitation deal with russia, he s in the driver
insights on the health care poll. the 39 percent support the health care law and 53 percent oppose it. and as for the president s handling. 58 percent disapprove and 38 approve. his approval rate dropped down from froin percent to 39 percent. the president is said to be pushing democrats to run on obama care in november. chris, a big, big news day. why would the president push health care? i don t think and i don t know what bloomberg sources are. if there is one thing to do if you like obama care vote for me. but if you are a democrat in the senate. it passed by a single vote and
