Another release on the holiday thinking that no one is paying attention.

“Public support for repealing last year’s sweeping health care reform law has fallen dramatically in the aftermath of a shooting rampage in Arizona that critically injured a Democratic congresswoman.

Only one in four Americans said they support full repeal of the reforms, according to a newly-released Associated Press-GfK poll, and 30 percent strongly opposed the law, the lowest figure since September 2009.

The drop is particularly notable among Republicans. Forty-nine percent said they’re against the law, down considerably from 61 percent after the elections.

A survey by Gallup found that on Jan. 7, one day before the shootings, Americans supported repeal by a margin of 46 to 40 percent.”

Which tells you to dig deeper. Polls simply don’t shift that dramatically unless there are some shenanigans in the methodology. It didn’t take much Googling to get to the bottom of this.

The AP partners with GfK Roper Public Affairs & Corporate Communications for this drivel. Gfk, is a German Company financed in part from – you guessed it – George Soros – funded agencies.

Additionally Gfk has extensive interest in the heathcare industry and thus an interest in pushing back against reform.
