The longer the Democrats' health care plan sits on the table, the less the American people seem to like it, several recent polls suggest.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted over the weekend found that more people think President Obama's health care proposal is a bad idea than a good one.
According to the poll, 42 percent of respondents said it's a bad idea while 36 percent said it's a good idea. The split is 47 percent to 37 percent against the plan among those with private insurance.
That's a big change from just last month, when those surveyed were almost evenly divided over the plan. The survey asked 1,001 adults with a margin of error of 3.1 percent.
The new survey, taken July 24-27, was the latest to show enthusiasm is waning for the kind of health care reform that members of Congress have been negotiating during weeks of intense sessions on Capitol Hill.
House and Senate leaders have conceded that no bill will reach the floor before lawmakers go on their August recess, meaning the earliest Congress can vote on health care reform is September.
In the interim, Democrats plan to continue to press their case with constituents in a bid to keep up momentum and retain support when they return from break.
That could be a challenging task. - FOX News Story
