Funny how the right loves to quote opinion polls to prove "the people" are behind them, but when the poll leans in the other direction, it is because the people being polled didn't understand the issue. I've been saying for a long time that the American people had a very poor understanding of the healthcare bill, and that was maligned...
For the record, I don't think an opinion poll is a very good indication of the merits of a SCOTUS ruling which is interpreting the Constitution. I happen to think the ruling was wrong on the merits, but I didn't come to that conclusion before reading both the majority and dissenting opinions. OTOH, the poll *does* reflect the fact that a strong majority are fed up with special interest influence in our politics. That sentiment is certainly in the right direction, regardless of the merit of this particular Constitutional ruling.
