Polls

++The Kaiser Family Foundation, which is known for the most accurate and comprehensive polls on healthcare issues,conducted a survey two weeks and three weeks after the disastrous ACA rollout. Their findings are interesting: 47% Americans want the law either expanded (22%) or kept (25%); 37% want it replaced by the GOP plan (which doesn't exist)(13%) or repealed with no replacement (24%). However, only 38% of Americans are favorable to ACA, while 44% are against. The conclusion one should draw is that much more factual education must be done.

++With the Virginia election on Tuesday, the Watson Center at the Christopher Newton University released what might be the last poll before election day. The Macker is at 45% and the Cooch at 38%. 10% support the libertarian Sarvis. 2/3rds if Sarvis supporters are protesting the Cooch.  The Cooch is bringing in Marco Rubio and Governor Walker this weekend to try and pull the election off. The Macker is pulling in President Obama. The Post reports that McAuliffe has an overwhelming financial advantage going into the last weekend.
