Usually, when only 19 percent of Americans believe something, they are considered to be either misguided, ignorant or delusional. So which one is U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan? The other day she confidently announced that one reason she was supporting Harry Reid’s health care bill was that it would help reduce the deficit. No serious analyst believes that, and, according to ABC, neither do the American people:

The American people are increasingly questioning the President’s credibility. He says the stimulus has saved or created 640,000 jobs, but only seven percent of Americans believe it has created any. And he’s repeatedly promised health care reform will not increase the deficit, but a mere 19 percent believe him.

Kay Hagan does.
