Try this one:

Here's a brief quote:

"The day after Mr. Obama's congressional address, CBS re-interviewed 678
adults first questioned in a poll conducted August 27-31."

"Last week, just 40 percent of these adults approved of how the president was
handling health care. More, 47 percent, disapproved. After the speech, 52
percent said they approved and only 38 percent said they disapproved. Those
are the best assessments for Mr. Obama's handling of health care shown all
year by CBS News Polls."

"President Obama's speech was particularly successful in unifying Democrats.
Now, 85 percent of them approve of his handling of health care."

"Approval rates also rose among independents and Republicans, but independents
are still divided and only 17 percent of Republicans approve of the
president's health care actions."

Democrats significantly outnumber Republicans and Independants combined in the
US.  With 85% of Dems behind the president plus something like half of
Independants and 17% of Republicans, Obama has enough of a mandate to force
Congress' shaky hand and finally get something done.

It remains to be seen whether our elected leaders have the decency to stand up
to the insurance industry and the small minority of loud-mouthed fools who
actually believe that the industry has their best interests at heart.
