Majority Republicans in the House of Representatives "have badly overplayed their hand" by attempting time after time to repeal or dismantle President Obama's health care law, says prominent Democratic pollster Geoff Garin.
Garin has conducted focus groups around the country recently to assess voter sentiment on Obamacare, and he found that voters consider the GOP to be obstructionist and overly negative.
This perception of Republican intransigence has created "an opportunity for Democrats to play offense rather than defense," Garin says. "The bottom line is that people do not want to repeal [the health care law, which remains in effect]. ... People feel we should be fixing and improving what's there, not repealing it."
now we have heard for almost 5 years that "the people don't want the abomination of health care", which leaves, they "the people" want the status quo since republicans have no health care plan.
Garin, a veteran political consultant who advises many Democratic congressional candidates, adds: " Some Republicans don't want to do constituent service around it [the health care law]. People feel that's outrageous."Garin concedes, however, that many Americans still have only a vague idea of what the new law will do.
that's where the admin and us yes us remember "yes we can".
