Gallup: Democrats show significant increase in optomism after health care passage


The substantial uptick in satisfaction among Democrats follows the House's passage of the new healthcare bill on March 21 and President Obama's signing the bill into law on March 23 (Obama signed the revised healthcare bill on March 30). Democrats' satisfaction had dropped from readings in the mid-40% range last fall to 29% in early March. By the time of Gallup's March 26-28 survey this year, Democrats' satisfaction had begun to move back up; it has recovered to the current 49% in Gallup's April 8-11 survey

1. Couldn't be better news
Months ago, the Democrats were polling VERY VERY low in terms of enthusiasm for voting in 2010, and we know what that would lead to...

4. I like that we are getting things done for the country. To hell with the Repubs who
don't seem to believe in any change unless it is for the good of Wall Street.

5. Barbara Boxer said recently Dems need to be as fired up as the Tea Party in November.
Enthusiasm matters.

9. It all depends on the economy.
If it grows as we all hope, then Dems will have no problem being enthusiastic. If it looks like it's going to be a long slow growth(years), then who knows.

10. Keeping Republicans from taking over the House is motivation enough for me.
We must not have 'Boner' and his Republican ilk running the House! We must keep Nancy Pelosi as Speaker!

While Harry Reid may lose (what in the hell is wrong with the people of Nevada to vote out your majority leader senator!) the Senate is not likely to go Republican.

7. Democrats need every bit of optomism they can get to counter the freeper enthusiasm,
as well as the disenchantment of the independents in order to prevent November from becoming a bloodbath.

11. If HCR hadn't passed..there would
be more than the facade of failure.

Remember when the recons predicted failure for the Dems if HCR passed and yet they were whining their ass off to defeat it?
