More Health Care Tea Leaves, Ctd

Nate Silver reads them. He focuses on the Quinnipiac poll:

Quinnipiac found about a 4-5 point bump in support for the health care bill itself, although a larger bump (8 points) in Obama's handling of the issue. Obama's overall approval rating, on the other hand, was little changed.

What's a bit more surprising is that Quinnipiac also found a decent-sized bump in approval of the Democrats in Congress: from a pathetically low 30 percent to a not-quite-as-awful 36 percent. And most of the bump came from independent voters, among whom approval increased from 19 percent to 33.

That's a big jump from independents. Getting something done matters to them. Now regulate Wall Street and get that debt commission going.
