Obama's Poll Standing



RCP: Reports on its average of Obama's polls, the average is Obama at 48.6% approve and 46.1% disapprove. Thus is pure political terms President Obama needs a win, a major win, thus we come to health care reform, the White House has called for the House to vote by March 18 on the Senate version of health care reform, the White House should push hard now, if the Congress goes in to recess with no vote the bill could go down in flames if the Congressmen/women and Senators face the wrath of the voters. Thus the liberal leadership in Congress and the Oval should push the House members to trust Obama, and vote for a bill that they don't like, even it it looks bad on the political front now, they have a couple of months to sell the Bill and then Obama can stress jobs, jobs and jobs. The 2010 Mid Term Congressional Elections are still a few months away, also it should be noted that the health care reform bill does have some benefits and negatives, the benefits are that people with pre existing conditions can not be rejected by insurance companies and there is no cap on the cost of treatment. On the negatives ALL Americans will have to buy insurance and taxes will go up. Thus lets see how good a politician Obama really is, if he is good he can keep the House if not he will lose Congress to the Republicans.
