Health care reform is already...

...polling better:

Nearly half of Americans believe the health care reform bill signed by President Barack Obama on Tuesday was a “good thing,” according to a new Gallup poll.

Forty-nine percent of the 1,005 adults polled nationwide Monday said health reform was a “good thing,” compared with 40 percent who said it was bad.

Independents, meanwhile, were split almost evenly. Forty-six percent said the bill was a “good thing,” compared to 45 percent who believed it was bad.

Look for those numbers to improve as people get more familiar with the plan. Reform will be a net positive for the Democrats come November.
