Polls show that 55 percent want Dems to do more to fight big corporations
# 68% of voters want a public health insurance option
# By 5 to 1, voters want their Representative to fight to add the public option over simply passing the Senate bill
# By 3 to 1, persuadable voters are less likely to vote for local Democrat if Congress doesn't pass a public option as part of reform
# 55% say Democrats need to do more to fight big corporations
# 56% say Democrats haven't done enough to fulfill Obama's 2008 campaign promises
# 52% of Democrats less likely to vote in 2010 if Congress doesn't pass public option -- Republicans more likely

2. Obviously we should ignore those polls.
Because other ones say we need to be "bipartisan" and "cut the deficit".

3. Accuracy of the poll?
Credibility? I like the results of the poll, but.

If the poll results are accurate it sounds to me that all Democrats have to do is pass a strong Public option any way they can and reap the benefits. They would become wildly popular simply by doing the public's will. Imagine that!
