(CNSNews.com)- Seventy-two percent of American adults and 56 percent of self-professed Democrats say that the provision in the health-care law signed by President Barack Obama that requires individuals to purchase health insurance or pay a fine is unconstitutional, says the Gallup Poll.
 
In March, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear cases challenging the constitutionality of the mandate.
 
Among Republicans, according to the poll, 94 percent say the mandate is unconstitutional and 6 percent say it constitutional. Among Independents, 70 percent say it is unconstitutional and 21 percent say it is constitutional. In contrast to the 56 percent of Democrats who say the mandate is unconstitutional, only 37 percent say it is constitutional.

I didn't click the link because I'm in go-mode this AM, but didn't this poll or another poll asking the same question also say that 39% of the American people want "free" health care paid for by the government?

The "American people™" are seriously schizophrenic. We say unequivocally that we want to control the size and scope of government, but we simultaneously want all the goodies from it that one could possibly imagine.

In a related gallup poll
Feb. 28,2012

GALLUP DAILY
 
Obama Approval: 43% (approval is down 2)
Obama Disapproval: 50% (disapproval is up 3)

My comment: Gee wizz, if the Republicans are in such chaos and if women are being turned off, then why is Obama dropping?

Romney 50%
Obama 46%

My comment: What is the lesson kids? Don't believe the media lies!!!
