Poll-itics: 3/4 Of Republicans Say Congressional GOPers Haven’t Explained Their Health Care Plans

Rushpublic Congresspeople to Rushpublic Americans: Is this thing on?

Dems today have been jumping on the fact that the new CBS/New York Times poll finds that an astonishing 76% of respondents say Republicans in Congress haven’t clearly explained their plans to reform the health care system.

But there’s an even more interesting number in the poll’s internals: Nearly as many Republican respondents — nearly three out of four — say the same thing.

Here’s the poll’s question: “Do you think the Republicans in Congress have clearly explained their plans for changing the health care system, or haven’t they clearly explained their plans?” And the answers, among Republicans:

Have explained 17
Haven’t explained 73
Don’t know 10
