Obama's health care reform poll numbers rising

Key quote:

Before his prime-time speech to Congress, 52 percent disapproved of Obama's handling of health care. Now the public is split, with 48 percent approving and 47 percent disapproving.

"Getting more directly involved in the outcome is what people expect a president to be doing," said Blendon.

The irony is that the poll is whether people approve of "congress's" health care plans. Which plan would that be? No idea. But the general idea is that people want reform, and that is good. Let's hope Dems take advantage of the sentiment, and build on it.
