How is health care reform working out for the Republicans?


* A Democracy Corps survey conducted in early September finds 56
percent agreeing that Republicans are “More interested in partisan
politics than solving the country’s problems.”

* The same poll finds just 29 percent saying that Republicans have
“new ideas for addressing the country’s problems,” a lower rating than
when we last asked this question in 2005.

* Quinnipiac finds just 29 percent think that Republicans are
“making a good faith effort to cooperate” with Obama on health care,
versus 59 percent who say they are not.

* A CBS/New York Times survey finds that just 27 percent think
Republican members of Congress are opposing Obama’s plans because they
think they are “bad for the country” while 64 percent say they are doing
it for “political reasons.”

* CNN finds that 61 percent say Republicans are “being
obstructionist for mostly political reasons” versus 35 percent who say
they are being “constructive.”

* A Washington Post/ABC survey finds 62 percent saying Republicans
in Congress are “not making a good faith effort to cooperate” on health
care, versus just 31 percent who say they are.

* Pew finds that 62 percent of opponents of health care reform
think that “policymakers who oppose the current proposals” should
compromise with supporters while only 33 percent think they should try
to block passage of legislation.
