E helpfully points out the nifty little graphic from the NY Times at the right. For even MORE proof that the public overwhelmingly supports a public health insurance plan, Nate Silver puts all the other polls in one place.
As you can see, 72% of respondents to the poll support a public health insurance plan, including 50% of Republicans. Will someone please inform the Sinning Senator David Vitter that half of his party's voters support a public health insurance plan as part of any health care reform bill?
More importantly, will someone please let Senator Landrieu know? She's broken a pledge she made to support a public health insurance plan that she made two months ago.
Oh, wait ... YOU CAN.
