The AP-GfK poll from October 1-5 found that the public opinion on Obama's health care proposals took a more favorable turn compared to results sampled in September. This poll shows the public in a 40-40 split, with 20% undecided which is a positive sign for the Democrats as in September the polls hinted at an almost 50% opposition to the plan. About 68% percent of Democrats favored the proposal. However, only 29% of Independents and about 20% of Republicans favor the Democrats' policies. Even with this slightly positive movement in the polls, lawmakers still have many obstacles to overcome. The first order of business is to come up with a united bill to be voted on and then to explain such complex proposal to the public.
