I think we all expected Barack Obama/the Democrats/the health-care bill would get a bump coming off the bill’s enactment — action tends to play better than inaction — and sure enough a Gallup overnight poll has a majority claiming it’s a “good thing” Obamacare passed.

Two things to note: One, more independents are “angry” or “disappointed” than “enthusiastic” or “pleased” (even though independents thought it was a “good thing” by one-point margin, meaning, I guess, that some were disappointed or angry but preferred this bill to nothing).

Two, as Mark Blumenthal points out, overnight polls “sometimes pick up momentary reactions that quickly fade.” Maybe Obamacare will just keep getting more popular in the months ahead. Or maybe polls will track more closely with this Bloomberg overnight which shows that a majority still opposes Obamacare. Either way, it’s up to conservatives and Republicans to keep making the case that this bill is an unconstitutional mess that will drive premiums up and exacerbate the country’s fiscal problems.
