Despite the President's September 20 blitz on all of the Sunday television talk shows, the latest poll from Rasmussen Reports shows that only 41% of voters nationwide support Obamacare-a new low.

Seniors are the least supportive of the health care legislation being pushed by President Obama and Democrats in Congress.  Just 33% of seniors back the plan, with 59% opposed and 8% undecided.

In fact, seniors oppose Obamacare intensely.  A mere 16% of those persons over 65 years of age strongly support the plan, while a whopping 46% are strongly opposed.

Democrats are on board for government-run health care by 75%, while 79% of Republicans are against it. 

Significantly, 72% of independents oppose the legislation.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, the president of Rasmussen Reports, Scott Rasmussen, explained that "most voters are skeptical about the government's ability to do anything well."

He said that previous polling "found that by a 2-1 margin, voters believe that, no matter how bad things are, Congress can always make matters worse."

The newest poll showed that, if Obamacare is passed, 55% of voters say the quality of medical care will get worse.  Only 24% think it would be better, and 21% are not sure.

Likewise, 54% believe government-run health care would make their costs go up, while just 23% think they would go down and another 23% are unsure.

In a related matter, another Rasmussen poll determined that a mere 22% of voters believe the most members of Congress actually understand what is in the Obamacare bill.  A clear majority of the people-55%--thinks senators and representatives will not be familiar with the legislation before casting their vote on it, while 23% are not sure.

51% of voters rate their own understanding of the President's health care plan as good or excellent, but only 22% say that for members of Congress.

With the Senate Finance Committee expected to approve its version of Obamacare soon, Majority Leader Harry Reid said that the full Senate could start voting on the bill during the week of October 12. 

The Associated Press states, "Initial action is expected to be slow, consumed largely with parliamentary maneuvers in which Democrats try to set the stage for passage and Republicans erect a 60-vote hurdle as a test vote."
