Up Slightly? That's An Understatement -- Maybe It Has To Do With The Way One Asks The Question

Gallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport shares that 52% of Americans disapprove of O'BamaCare, up slightly from 45% in November 2012.

I still maintain this -- refusal to submit the IRS-O'BamaCare forms -- will be the biggest act of social disobedience this country has ever seen. I have not yet seen the phrase "social disobedience" used in this discussion, but my hunch is we will start to see it April 15, 2014, if not sooner, unless the individual mandate is delayed -- which makes the need for social disobedience moot.

Back to the Gallup poll. I think it depends how one asks the question. When 45% of Americans disapproved of O'BamaCare the question asked was:
Are you in favor of free medical care for your family as promised by the President?
But when the question was changed, 52% of Americans disapproved:
Are you in favor of the health care bill that has been characterized as a "train wreck"?
It should be noted that 47% of the US population are unable to define "characterized."
