Pass The Damn Bill, Part 5

Josh Marshall finds the marble in the Public Policy Polling oatmeal, and now gets to drink from the firehose of awesome. (emphasis mine):
The vast majority of opposition to health care and allowing gays to serve openly in the military is coming from people who already say there's no chance they'll vote Democratic this fall. That's an indication of minimal fallout for Congressional Democrats by acting on these issues.

37% of Americans say they will definitely not vote Democratic for Congress this year. 34% say they definitely will and that leaves roughly 30% of the country up for grabs.

Right now 50% of voters say they oppose President Obama's health care plan to just 39% in support. Digging a little deeper on those numbers though 64% of respondents planning or open to voting Democratic this fall support it with only 22% opposed. The overall numbers are negative only because of 94/1 opposition among folks who have said there is no way they'll vote Democratic this fall
Let that sink in.

Democrats in Washington, please pay attention to this PPP poll.   94% of people who have no intention on voting for you hate health care reform.  This is throwing all the numbers off.
The rest of America, including the people in the middle who may vote for you, WANT YOU TO PASS HEALTH CARE REFORM.

Got it?  Swing voters.  Want you.  To Pass.  The Damn.  Bill.

It really is that simple.
