USATODAY: Poll: Most oppose blocking Obama health care law

[redgreen5]

Apparently the majority of Americans are tired of the GOP trying to unravel the new Health Care Law. Their message to the GOP?  "Suck it up.  Move on and focus on more important things."

A new poll shows that most Americans -- 56% -- want to see critics of President Obama's health care law drop efforts to block it and move on to other national issues.

The survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation also reflects continued partisan divisions over the law in the days after a divided Supreme Court found it constitutional.

Which shows that a majority of Americans (47%) approve of the Supreme Court ruling on the health care law, vs. 43% opposed and 10% don't know/refused to answer

Again. They poll is messed up on the demographics. They based the survey on a random selection of people matching census data by race. Not by party affiliation or lack there of. A subject split along party lines such as Obamacare can not be accurately sampled based solely on race and being over 18.

You morons should really get a clue.

This is just another attempt by the press to help Obama.

We'll see how many of you morons show up at the polls in November.

I think Justice Roberts did it right with his veiled suggestions that the only way to get
rid of this bad law is at the polling booth.  I'll be there in November.

LOL no they did not.  What they did was control for demographics. If you're too stupid or uneducated to understand how statistical controls operate, then you have no business commenting on the topic.

On the other hand, if you think you understand how statistics work, then I'd love to hear your critique of their methodology. Stick around for questions, because I'm sure I'll have many. Here's the actual survey questions with response rates:

LOL idiot.  Page 3 of the survey link in the opening post breaks down the data according to political party. And page 9 of the second link I gave breaks down responses by political party, affiliation, and leaning.

Keep digging that hole, Jethro. Want a bigger shovel?

LOL
The topic can be split along ANY line you want: age, income level, gender, geography, politics, etc.  The underlying data is the same.  Showing how the data breaks out for certain variables does not change the data.

You morons should really get a clue.

Says the retard who doesn't understand how statistical polling works, and is too lazy to read the report before responding.

However, as I posted and linked in your other very similar thread, Rasmussen's polling yielded a different result, with a majority favoring repeal. It was repeal that he asked about, not the SCOTUS ruling, so it isn't exactly the same question. But it shows most "likely voters" opposed to the ACA.

And the problems with Rasmussen - as I've mentioned before - are numerous, and Rasmussen can't be relied upon for the following reasons:

1. Rasmussen's objectivity - Rasmussen's owner, Scott Rasmussen, is a staunch conservative who authors articles, columns, etc. advocating conservative ideas:

2. Rasmussen's motives re: the Tea Party - on the specific topic of the Tea Party, Rasmussen has an economic motive for pushing a favorable image of them. He co-authored a rather overly-optimistic book about the Tea Party movement. In it,  he tried to claim that the Tea Party is remaking the two party system -

But as we have seen, that's hardly the case. In fact, Tea Party members have such high negatives now that nobody wants to be associated with them.  In 2011, their negatives were in the 40s:

By 2012, it was worse.

If you feel like USAToday is biased, then by all means: put your money where your mouth is, and provide the evidence.

You might also work on your reading skills.  Even though the article appears in USAToday, they did not conduct the poll. The organization conducting the poll was the Kaiser Family Foundation.

You know, like it says in the citation above, plain and obvious:
