I'm just pointing out the fact that the majority of people are in favor of having a public option. Therefore, imo, it makes more sense that Obama's losing support because he's not strongly backing it anymore.

Except if you look at the Rasmussen numbers I posted earlier and read the whole article where they basically reiterate my points.

I may as well ask, because I'm curious. What part of the concept of the public option are people fighting against? (And I mean someone who would say they want a public option in a poll, but who is against the public option concept as-is now.) And what evidence do you have to support this?

Once again, look at the Rasmussen report I posted. It's based on months of poll numbers.
As for what people are fighting against: They have made themselves quite clear and we've posted the arguments against the government run option (HR 3200) many times.
EDIT: I'll add a new one. People want their representatives to actually read the bill before voting on it, and the people themselves would like a chance to read it and understand it before a vote takes place..
