You are making an assumption here, aren't you ? The assumption is that Kaiser only polled its own members. I don't believe this is correct. Incidentally, Kaiser has at least 7 million members. Furthermore, I don't think the folks at Kaiser doing public polling are as stupid and naive about sample sizes and origins as you hope they were. I can see if I can find out -- but I bet that was a nationwide poll.

Kaiser does not have facilities throughout the US. Kaiser is located in 9 states. Kaiser represents 18% of the states. The great thing about statistics is the numbers can be skewed easily to reach a wanted outcome.
9 states Kaiser is located/50 states in the US = 18% representation
18% of 51%(majority in kaisers poll) = 35% of people want Obamacare. I am simply using Kaiser math.

I posted the URL to the report. If you want more than that, do the footwork yourself.

Bottom line, idiots and leeches want Obamacare. The majority are now leeches and idiots, as proven by the last election results. It's not hard to believe the liberal, idiotic leeching majority want it. Those with intelligence that don't live off the public dole aren't for it.

Incidentally, Kaiser is a NON-PROFIT organization. Furthermore, when we were having a related discussion about this a few weeks ago, I called Kaiser to see if the Foundation had any particular feelings pro or con about ObamaCare. I got routed to the media people, spoke with a fellow, and he had no information about Kaiser taking any position whatsoever. Being political is not within their functions, seeing that they are NON-PROFIT and that there are regulations preventing a non-profit from engaging in politics.

That's not what the Kaiser Foundation poll found. It found that 37% of Americans have a favorable view of Obamacare while 47% have an unfavorable view.
The poll found that the majority of Americans did not want defunding as the mechanism for stopping Obamacare's implementation, which is significantly different than saying they want Obamacare.
If you're going to talk about poll results you should take steps to understand them first.

LOL, so are Mediamatters.org, Crossroads GPS, and 1000's of other NON-PROFIT operations with a self-serving bias.

Not to be argumentative, but clearly this is a anti GOP, Tea party information source. I am distrustful of sources that spend most of their space disparaging others while not promoting the advantages of their own views.
I posted a CBS article which seemed neutral. It showed that the Majority, by a slim margin is not in favor of Obama care. I guess time will tell.

:) :) :) just remember the 47 per cent of the population that free loads on the rest of society. Of course those folks want obummer care, hell, those kind want any and every thing, as long as it is free. What ever will these twits do when the well runs dry? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow, a Kaiser Foundation poll huh? Well the link you provided has a pretty left wing slant to it, and following the link, and reading the actual report by the foundation, actually reaffirms that a majority still disapprove of the law, that it is simply defunding as a means to stop it's implementation, that has a majority vote. CBS news which isn't exactly known for it's right wing slant, did it's own poll last June, which came to the same overall conclusion, the majority of Americans, 54% want the law repealed.
It would seem that your thread is another example of liberals slanting the facts to give a false impression.
