We learned a great deal about health care reform in the survey we conducted together with Resurgent Republic for NPR. Above all, Democrats can feel very comfortable talking about it and engaging the Republicans and outside Super PACs with confidence that they will win.
This issue is dynamic. It went from a loser for Democrats to one where it is essentially tied on most measures nationally. Most of the debates in this poll on the basic idea of reform and taxes have achieved parity with the Republican arguments. And Democrats win the argument against repeal and replace by a lot. Republicans are advancing a losing argument and this could still move toward pro-reform positions in the coming months. It is important to talk about health care.

On this day in 1994, South Africa’s first democratically-elected Parliament chose Nelson Mandela to be the country’s first president in the post-apartheid era. In his inaugural address, Mandela spoke of building a “society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity - a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world.” We at GQR are proud to have been a part of that campaign.
