Support for ObamaCare Drops to a New Low

From Rasmussen Reports:

Public support for the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats has fallen to a new low as just 42% of U.S. voters now favor the plan. That’s down five points from two weeks ago and down eight points from six weeks ago. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that opposition to the plan has increased to 53%, up nine points since late June.

The President already started retooling ObamaCare at a “townhall” in New Hampshire.  President Obama came out to a crowd of seemingly hand-picked supporters to make a strong defense for his health care plans. Philip Klein at the American Spectator says the President is lying about a single-payer health system.  Klein cites at 2003 speech in which Obama clearly supported a single payer system, Jim Geraghty at National Review Online points to Obama’s support of a single-payer system as late as last year.

It looks like the Democrats’ push to unite voters behind ObamaCare, has actually united them in opposition.

UPDATE: The President claimed  at the townhall event that the AARP endorsed Obama Care. The problem: The AARP hasn’t endorsed it.
