NYT: August Recess Didn't Greatly Alter Opinion on ObamaCare

[Meanwhile, in our professional media...]

Have you ever wondered what planet liberal media members live on?

Before you answer, consider the following astonishing quote from a New York Times article published Tuesday:

"While the month of August clearly knocked the White House back on its heels, as Congressional town hall-style meetings exposed Americans’ unease with an overhaul, the uproar does not seem to have greatly altered public opinion or substantially weakened Democrats’ resolve."

I guess wherever author Sheryl Gay Stolberg lives, they don't have Gallup polls.

After all, in September, Gallup found (emphasis added):

39% of Americans saying they would direct their member of Congress to vote against a healthcare reform bill this fall while 37% want their member to vote in favor.

This was down from 56 percent in favor back in July. That's a 19 point drop in less than two months.

Isn't that what you would call "greatly altered?"

[And the paper's losing readership - go figure.]
