Obama, Health Care and the VOTERS

Rasmussen Report: Reports on the latest downward trend of President Obama's approval ratings, in the latest daily tracking poll, President Obama's Job Approval stands at 48%, while his negative rating is 51%. The Health Care Reform Bill is doing damage to the Obama standing among voters, and more important it is hurting him with voters that got him elected in 2008, these are Independents. If Obama is to get a net plus out of the Health Reform Bill he needs to connect his vision to the daily medical needs of those independents who are open to his reform bill, but also he needs to make sure that those that are not keen on the reform will feel that they will not lose out in the long term. Thus we shall see if he has the magic of LBJ and Ronald Reagan.
