Poll of the Week: Gallup Poll on Personal Responsibility on the issue of health care
By John Hanlon
Firstly, the article about the Gallup poll began with an important revelation: “In a recent Gallup survey, 89% of Republicans, 64% of independents, and 61% of Americans overall say Americans themselves — rather than the government — have the primary responsibility for ensuring that they have health insurance.” That poll should be encouraging to conservatives who have argued with liberals who point to other polls that show the “dramatic” public support for a government option. That support might be overemphasized by those advocating for a public option. In an important passage of the Gallup article, the writer noted that polls existed that did, in fact, show support for a public option but some of those polls, including a Fox News poll and a New York Times/CBS news poll, are missing an important option in the question that they ask. As the Gallup article noted, “Other national polls on this topic have found a higher degree of public support for government involvement in guaranteeing healthcare coverage, but those question wordings do not provide a non-governmental alternative.”
