The latest from Rasmussen Reports shows that there ARE two Americas: the average Joe and the political class. First, here are the overall polling results about a legal challenge to the Democrats’ health reform package, which President Obama has just signed into law.
Forty-nine percent (49%) of U.S. voters favor their state suing the federal government to fight the requirement in the new national health care plan that every American must obtain health insurance.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely voters finds that 37% disagree and oppose their state suing to challenge that requirement. Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided.
And now the most important divide, which tells you why mainstream media organizations have been cheerleading Mr. Obama and Ms. Pelosi’s efforts (emphasis is mine):
The gap over suing the federal government is even wider between Mainstream Americans and the Political Class. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Mainstream voters think state lawsuits challenging the federal requirement are a good idea. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of the Political Class disagree.
