New Poll: Romney/Ryan Medicare plan "deeply unpopular" in swing states

of Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida.


Romney-Ryan Health Plan Is Spurned in Swing States in NYT Poll
By Chris Peterson - Aug 23, 2012 5:09 AM ET

Plans by Republican Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, to reshape the Medicare program are proving deeply unpopular in the swing-states of Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida, the New York Times reported, citing Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News polls.

The Romney-Ryan plan calls for future beneficiaries to be given fixed amounts of money to buy health coverage, and polls showed Mewdicare to be the third most crucial issue for voters in the three states, the NYT said.

Polling revealed about 60 percent of those questioned want Medicare to continue providing cover for older citizens as it does now, and see it as providing good value for money, the newspaper reported.

and that is EXACTLY what they are doing with their (gee - I dunno 5-1) shitty ads in NC.

Follow that up with M$M saying the polls show Obama losing swing states, Wisconsin is close to being lost, etc. and they are setting up some real rank stink this election.

Now they're hyping that the young and minorities won't be voting in the huge numbers they did in '08 and I'm about to lose my mind with it all.

Watch them.....and I sincerely hope O/B has a big giant ace in their pocket.
