Latest Obamacare Polls: Will the Will of the People Prevail?
The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression shall be our first object.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
The latest polls show public opposition to Obamacare.   Between elections, polls have become the main vehicle for Americans to freely express their opinion.   Will this opinion be expressed in the November 2014 midterm elections?   Will polls influence the President and his acolytes to further delay or modify the Accordable Care Act? If Congress votes for repeal after those elections, and when President Obama vetoes repeal,  what then?

Tweet:  The average of 7 major polls shows the public opposes Obamacare by a 51% to 40%.  Is this important?  Does the will of the people count?
