Senator Dick Durbin Public Option Poll Results

Public Option Poll Results

Between October 28, 2009 and November 13, 2009 we asked Americans to rank their support for various forms of the "public option" currently under consideration by Congress for inclusion in the final health care reform bill. We've always known that a majority of Americans support the public option, and the 83,954 respondents who participated in our poll reflect the fact that Americans want the strongest possible public option that can pass the Congress:

Four out of five survey respondents voiced full support for a "50 state public option."

A majority of respondents voiced moderate to high support for a public option that includes a state "opt-out" provision.

Roughly three out of four survey respondents voiced little or no support for a public option bill that requires states to "opt-in" before they can participate, and

Only 12% of respondents voiced moderate to full support for a so-called "trigger," with 65% completely opposed to such a compromise.
I hope you will take a moment to review these results in greater depth below, as I share our findings with my colleagues in the Senate to encourage the inclusion of a robust public option in the final health care reform bill.
