The survey says: Republicans really are that stupid . . . But

If you want to know what's happening to the health care reform "debate," all you need to do is pull up some of the most recent surveys.

According to an August 5 CNN-Opinion Research survey (click here) ), an overwhelming majority, almost 80%, of Democrats are favorably disposed to the administration's health care program, although, according to Gallup research (click here), fewer than half uderstood it well.

Hmm, let me rethink the title of this a moment, about who's really stupid, and who isn't. Oh yeah, I did include the "but."

Now, as to the 80% of Dems who approve of the Obama plan, it might be illustrative to know that per that same cited survey, fewer than 20% of Republicans favored it, and that of the GOP voters who did not, 58% claimed to understand it.
