Obama's #s are 46-47%, while the majority of Americans dislike him. Then again, the poll is not a representative of the whole country, so I wouldn't use it in a debate.

I think we will really find out what people feel about this health care bill in November. I think it will pass which will make it the single biggest issue in the November election. The republicans will run on the platform of, "elect me and I will shut it down." and the democrats will run on the platform of, "We did something great here and we can do more if you just elect us."
The problem with the latter statement is that the Democrats' logic is flawed and just plain delusional. Since the majority of this country do not want Obamacare as it is, the only ones that feel that the Democrats did something great are the Democrats. If they go into the elections pitching that shit, you can expect a landslide.

I think it is the perfect time for an independent to step in and run on the platform of, "Both of these guys are idiots, elect me and I will do the work of the real people."
