From Jim Geraighty at NRO:

Interesting result from Gallup in my e-mailbox today: When asked, "Would you advise your member of Congress to vote for or against a healthcare reform bill when they return to Washington in September, or do you not have an opinion?" 35 percent said vote for, 36 percent said vote against, and 29 percent said "no opinion."

UPDATE: Campaign Spot reader Avinash calls my attention to the July 14 Gallup results: "A USA Today/Gallup poll finds 56% of Americans in favor and 33% opposed to Congress' passing major healthcare reform legislation this year."

This is a 21 percentage point drop in support.

Why shouldn't Democrats in Congress and the White House pledge to drop their current health insurance and agree to use whatever public plan they come up with?

I am against the "public plan" - and it makes no difference whether or not politicians will agree to join it. Not to mention that they would receive VIP treatment regardless of what insurance they have - especially if they come to own healthcare.
