I'm almost tempted to bet you on this.

he'll get a 6month boost no problem. Now whether or not it carries over to 2012 as we see the results of the presumed Healthcare Reform is another matter but politically, if it passes, he'll get an immediate boost. Any political victory of that magnitude will produce a poll bounce.

WHo's going to change opinions on it becuase it passes? - Will Hunting Mar 16, 09:10 12
- the far left will come back on this because...something/anything got done. - Mel Profit Mar 16, 09:18 1
  - "...and a few..." - Mel Profit Mar 16, 09:20
- My job approval rating of him is low because it hasn't passed. If a pollster asked me to rank my approval - TWuG Mar 16, 09:14 4
  - Job approval is one thing, but the actual bill in question doesn't really get favorable marks either. -- nm - Ender Mar 16, 09:15 3
    - Because the Dems suck at selling it. The individual parts of the bill poll very well. But the GOP has succeeded in casting the full bill as government - TWuG Mar 16, 09:19 1
      - The benefits poll very well. The costs, mandates, taxes, and penalties... not so much. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 16, 09:20
    - Which I also think will change once something passes. -- nm - TFox Mar 16, 09:16
- Trust me, the people who are pro healthcare reform just want to see something done. It's the nothing that has their ire up. - TFox Mar 16, 09:12 3
  - I'll say....5% bump up at most. - Will Hunting Mar 16, 09:15 2
    - After a month? Maybe. Then give it another three. Higher. -- nm - TFox Mar 16, 09:15 1
      - Give it 3 months and it's all about how the jobs are coming back (or not). - Will Hunting Mar 16, 09:21
- a lot of the people critical from the left will come around on it. -- nm - Reagen Mar 16, 09:11
