Democratic poll: Seniors have favorable view of Paul Ryan, but not his Medicare plan

By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/author/chris-moody/) | The Ticket (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/) – <abbr id="yui_3_5_1_24_1345597264493_375" title="2012-08-21T19:51:34Z">5 hrs ago</abbr>
A new poll (http://dailykos.com/weeklypolling/2012/8/16) conducted by a Democratic polling firm shows that Americans over the age of 65 have a favorable impression of Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, although his proposal to overhaul Medicare is still viewed unfavorably.


The poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling (PPP) on behalf of the liberal website Daily Kos and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), showed that 46 percent of seniors have a favorable view of Ryan compared to 40 percent who said they do not. Of all adults polled, 41 percent of the total sample said they had a favorable view of the Wisconsin congressman...



It then goes on to trash his plan, via poll results. Of course the details are in the questions, missing here. However, with those kind of approval numbers for a relatively obscure member of Congress? Obama folks should be worried.
