The Health Care Reform - "The Divided Opposition"

Despite the rising opposition to Obama's policies and the current health care proposals, the opposition, although strongly opposing these, lack a clear united direction of their own. Republicans and many Independents have a negative view of the Obama administration and the Democratic party in general and about 3/4 of them say that Obama does not represent traditional American values and 8 out of 10 would not support Obama's re-election. However, the Republican voters are deeply dissatisfied with the GOP leadership and their policies in the Congress as well. About 4 in 10 Republican voters are dissatisfied with the policy proposals being offered by congressional Republicans, and similar numbers see the GOP legislators as out of touch with their problems and personal values. Nearly a third say the Republicans in Congress are not representing the party's core values. Furthermore, the GOP currently lacks a clear leader which makes any focused opposition to the Health Care reform harder.
