If you like Poll numbers, and I think they are largely irrelevant myself unless an election is VERY near, here's one you might find interesting:
From the nonpartisan Robert Wood Johnson Foundation:

82 percent say an overhaul of the nation’s health care system is important for recharging the economy, according to an average of monthly polls conducted since April by the nonpartisan Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

I've said it before. MOST of the polls concerning Health Care ask the classic stupid quesiton. "Do you support it, Yes or No." Support WHAT? Heck even Congress doesn't know yet WHAT the final bill will look like, what it will include. It's still a work in progress. Many folks say "No" because the bill doesn't go far enough! They WANT a public option, they want something different with the abortion part, they want some item changed here or there. This is fundamentally why a "simple" Yes or No answer in a poll is ridiculous.
The Robert Woods foundation came a little close to getting a true feeling about what the American people think. But still, it's just another poll, can't take it to seriously.
Ridicule? HA! I aint got nothing on the conservative's around here. Many of whom have taken "ridicule" of anyone who leans left to the highest possible "expert" level.
