Gallup: congressional HC reform still a tough sell

Americans Still Leaning Against Healthcare Legislation: "Americans currently tilt against Congress' passing healthcare legislation, with 49% saying they would advise their member to vote against a bill (or they lean that way) and 44% saying they would advocate a vote in favor of the bill (or lean toward advising a yes vote)."

Meantime here's a write with local perspectives on the state of play this week:
