Washington Post Fact Check: Health Care Law STILL Unpopular
While the Washington Post has an article this morning outlining a single poll in which support for the health care law appears to have risen, it’s worth looking at the broader trendlines – and the below chart from pollster.com shows that, taken over an average of polls, support for the law has actually DROPPED since mid-May.

It’s also worth noting that, according to the aggregate polling data used by pollster.com, opponents of Democrats’ health “reform” have outnumbered supporters for a year, since last July – a trend which, as the graph below illustrates, shows no signs of changing, a single poll (and favorable headlines from same) notwithstanding.
