"Survey Says..." - Betty Sutton misreads constituents, again.
I can clearly remember Betty Sutton and her representatives telling us that most of her constituents wanted the health reform she was so diligently working to pass. Once again, polling data shows Sutton to be – WRONG.
Ohio Right to Life has just released the results of an interesting survey. The Wenzel Strategies telephone survey of 1001 Ohio registered voters found that 52 percent of respondents oppose the national health care reform plan currently moving through Congress.
In general, do you favor or oppose the health care reform plan under consideration by President Obama and Congressional leaders?
- Strongly Favor 21.1 %
- Somewhat Favor 18.6%
- Somewhat Oppose 7.9%
- Strongly Oppose 44.1%
- Not Sure 8.4%
The Survey also found that 65 percent of respondents oppose provisions for taxpayer funding of abortions included in any reform package. Of course, it is not possible for federal tax dollars to fund abortion, right Betty?
Do you think that health insurance that is paid for or subsidized by taxpayer money should include coverage for abortions, or should abortions be excluded from coverage in such situations?
- Should Cover 22.1%
- Should Not Cover 65.0%
- Not Sure 12.9%
The poll questions were asked in conjunction with the Ohio Cultural Index. These results are available in their entirety at www.ohiolife.org. The Index will be released on January 25. The survey was conducted January 8-12, 2010, and included 1001 Ohio registered voters contacted by phone. The poll carries a 95% confidence interval and a margin of error of +/- 3.07 percentage points.
