Is Obamacare on the Ropes?

Harry Reid says he's "not going to be bound by any time-lines," when asked if health care reform can be completed by Christmas. Depending on the results tonight, Blue Dogs may get a frightful glimpse of what their own races will look like in 2010, and the polling on health care reform -- the numbers are tanking. Per a release from McConnell's office:

Interesting CNN poll out today (taken October 30-Nov. 1; MoE is 3). It shows that, in the CNN poll at least, the numbers are back where there were in August -- particularly on health care -- at the height of the town hall season.

The President is upside-down on his handling of health care, the economy, Iraq, Afghanistan, taxes, immigration, unemployment, and the deficit.

  • 42 percent approve of his handling of health care (a nine-point drop since September) while a record 57 percent disapprove (up 10 since September’s poll)
  • These numbers are even worse than where they were in August (44-53)
  • 47 percent support his handling of Medicare, tied with his August rating of 46
  • His job approval rating (54-45) is tied with his August low of 53-45 in the CNN poll
