MSNBC Newsvine Poll on Healthcare reform bill - 66.7% are angry

Here's the link straight up:

politics.polls.newsvine.com... 01

At 6:32 CST on 3/22/2010, with 591,937 votes cast:

66.7% are ANGRY with the health care vote

26% are excited about healthcare reform

6.4% don't know how to feel

0.9% voted other

So, go ahead Probama people. Tell us again how polls are meaningless and how America really does want this healthcare reform package. Because EVERY ONE of these poll respondents MUST have been Republican - right?

I find the fact it was hosted on the fascist agitprop network MSNBC's site to be of relevance as well.

I wonder how that same poll on Fox would have turned out.'

If the numbers are that bad coming from MSNBC, I can only imagine what the real numbers for the general public are.

Did you just post an internet poll as a source?


Shall I write a quick script to put 1 million votes in the "excited" category???

Can all the people who keep name calling the angry folk now please recognize that the majority of people are infact pissed off?

Here's a poll I found on Fox...
Fox News Poll

60% of over 360,000 vote think this is nothing more than a "giant tax package" under disguise as healthcare reform.

What a pathetic response.

What is next? nearly 70% of Americans are racist, because a 'black man' is in office.


These poll results are real, and I still think under reported. I personally don't know 1 person happy about this.

Uh huh, because a major news company like MSNBC has no idea how to secure their polls and keep out hackers.

Yes, I challenge you to write such a script and derail that poll. What's that? You can't? Of course you can't - because YOU IN PARTICULAR are all talk and no substance. Can you say "Baaaaaaahhhhh"? I knew you could.

Apparently you don't know too much about how the internet works. Most of the polls are IP tracked - once an IP logs a vote, it can no longer log another one. Been around a loooooooong time. But, since the poll results run counter to what you WISH it said, it must be wrong.

Thank you for posting this poll ^_^. Someone on a thread I was reading earlier posted a link to this poll as a response to someone saying a Fox News poll doesn't count and it garnered no responses (wanted to post but it would have been off topic O.o) from the ones doing the bashing. I don't like Fox or MSNBC but it's nice to see it isn't coming from only one source.

Do it then. I'll wait. How long do you think it will take? I'm going to hazard a guess at "never". Do you really think EVERY poll taken on the healthcare reform bill has been manipulated to be AGAINST the government??? THAT would be historic.

With such massive sample sizes, I think the Fox and MSNBC polls accurately reflect the general public sentiment.

We are talking nearly 1 in 300 American's responded to these polls.

That is a HUGE amount of responses.

And the sample size is growing. At 7:03 p.m. CST there have been 609,067 respondents and the number excited has gone down.

Now 25.9% are excited compared to 66.8% angry and the same 6.4 don't know.

This one is not...it is cookie tracked...I just checked.

I'm not really surprised by the results.

It's crunch time, the bill was wildly unpopular before it was passed, and now that it has passed a lot of people with irrational concerns are freaking out about it.

I imagine that, given a few months to let the bill have its effects, people will begin to realize that it's not nearly as big a deal as they are making it out to be.

It's not government takeover, it's not Socialism, it's not Communism, and it's not Fascism.

That being said, I don't think it's a very good poll. What do people like myself, who are aware that this bill really won't change very much at all, select?

Don't know? I guess that's the closest option. Or other. It's just a bad choice of options. MSNBC (who are obviously heavily in favor of the legislation) made their bed with this one.

66.7% = somewhat awake sheeple, 'pitchfork class!'

26% = asleep indefinitely, and cant be saved. 'Idiot class'

6.4% = dazed and confused and still some-what asleep. 'Lost in themselves class'

0.9% = in another dimension. 'lost in the void of the left/right paradigm.'

So we're waiting for your script to derail the poll with a million votes in the Excited column.

Or would you like to admit that YOU WERE WRONG!???

Actually, yeah, I'd like to see you do that. Lets see how easy that poll is to manipulate. I'll be waiting for those votes to show up any minute.

You don't think internet polls can be hacked?

You are naive if you think internet polls can't be "hacked". And no...I'm not going to do because 1) I don't care and 2) I don't care.

It's not hard to do...you don't even need any programming knowledge...you can go low tech with Firefox...Macro editor...and done.

Even easier.


1. Vote

2. Tools > Clear Recent History > Check 'Cookies'

3. See step 1

4. Repeat until your index finger gets tired


I wonder how many people have been doing that all day? It seems silly, but who knows?

I do think internet polls can be hacked. However, 1)I'm guessing you cannot hack msnbc's poll and 2)A lot of people are pissed off because they called their representatives and protested the health care bill and it was passed anyway, and 3) Who has the motivation to manipulate all of the polls on the internet, if you believe all of the people on TV, the internet, and the people calling their representatives telling them to vote no are a minority?

There was a thread on 4chan earlier today actually getting people to mass on the FoxNews.com poll. I voted twice but it's likely because I'm using Firefox.
