Research 2000 Poll shows MA voters "wanted stronger, more progressive action on health care reform"

A poll was conducted immediately after the election last night of 1000 registered Massachusetts voters who voted for Obama in 2008. Half of the respondents voted in the MA special election for Republican candidate Scott Brown; half of the respondents did not vote at all. The poll definitively shows that voters who stayed home and voters who switched party allegiance share very common frustration and anger at an economy that continues to work better for Wall Street than Main Street.

There's a real populist anger out there. Voters worry that Democrats in power have not done enough to combat the policies of the Bush era. Both sets of voters wanted stronger, more progressive action on health care reform, as well. In summary, the poll shows that the party who fights corporate interests—especially on making the economy work for most Americans—will win the confidence of the voters.

Do you favor or oppose the health care reform proposal recently passed by the U.S. Senate?

If oppose, do you think it goes too far or doesn't go far enough?

Which of these statements comes closest to your point of view? Democrats in Washington are more on my side than on the side of the lobbyists and special interests, OR Democrats in Washington are more on the side of the lobbyists and special interests than on the side of people like me.

1. Yet another poll confirming what The Left has been saying for a year.

Will Democrats finally wake up and grow a spine?

2. Let's hope someone is

listening? Dean tried to tell Chris Matthews this today on Hardball. He had a hard time believing Dean because Coakley was pro public option.
