Poll- President Obama trusted almost twice as much as Republicans on health care reform


That whole Bill Maher "cram it down their throats" sounds just about right. Added- Bob has another poll that shows the public option getting 83% approval.

PRINCETON, N.J., June 17 (UPI) -- American most trust their doctors over the other players in the debate over U.S. healthcare reform, a Gallup Poll indicated Wednesday.

When asked whom they trust to recommend the right thing over reforming the country's health system, 73 percent said they trusted doctors. Sixty-two percent also said they trusted university professors or researchers who study healthcare policy while 61 percent indicated they trusted hospitals to recommend the right reform choices.

U.S. President Barack Obama had the trust of 58 percent of the poll respondents, faring better than Democratic congressional leaders (42 percent) and Republican leaders (34 percent). Some 40 percent of Americans say they trust pharmaceutical companies to have the right healthcare prescription, while 35 percent said they trusted health insurance companies.
