The poll was conducted February 2 – 8, 2010 -- well after the Virginia governor's race proved "the honeymoon is over", well after the New Jersey governor's race proved "Americans are rejecting Obama's socialist agenda", well after the Massachusetts Senate special election proved "the American people just don't want Obamacare".

There is absolutely no reason to delay on passing health care reform. It is still as popular today as it was the day the the American people overwhelmingly elected a Democratic majority to do just that. No matter what the purveyors of conventional wisdom say, no matter what the freaks and loons say, no matter what the Republicans say, we need a bill on the president's desk and we need it now.
