<p><i>Based on what you know about the health care reform legislation being<br />
considered right now, do you favor or oppose the plan?</i><br />
35% Favor, 51% Oppose (<a href="http://www.pollster.com/polls/us/healthplan.php">chart</a>)</p>

<p><i>Do you think abortion procedures should or should not be covered by private<br />
insurance plans?</i><br />
37% Should, 51% Should not</p>

<p><i>Do you favor or oppose the amendment to the health care reform bill that<br />
passed the U.S. House of Representatives last week that prevents any federal<br />
funds from being used for abortions?</i><br />
50% Favor, 38% Oppose</p>

<p><i>If an individual receives financial assistance from the federal government<br />
to purchase private health insurance, do you think they should or should not be<br />
able to buy an insurance plan that covers abortion procedures?</i><br />
39% Should, 52% Should not</p>

<p><i>On the issue of abortion, would you say you are more pro-life or more pro-choice?</i><br />
47% Pro-life, 44% Pro-choice</p>

<p><i>How do you think the recent shooting incident at the Army installation in<br />

an act of terrorism or as a killing spree?</i><br />
44% Act of terrorism, 49% Killing spree</p>

<p><i>There have been reports that some people who knew Nidal Hasan could see<br />
there was something wrong but did nothing. Do you think they kept silent mainly<br />
because they didn't want to be accused of being prejudice against his religion<br />
or mainly because they did not think he was really that dangerous?</i><br />
46% Didn't want to be seen as prejudiced, 38% Didn't think of him as dangerous</p>

<p><i>Do you think the medical testing of the swine flu vaccine was done as<br />

safe?</i><br />
