On Healthcare, Americans Trust Obama More Than Congress

"Fewer than 4 in 10 political independents have much faith in either political party in Congress on healthcare reform; however, the majority of independnts do trust Obama."

By 48% to 37%, most trust the Democrats than the Republicans in Congress

PRINCETON, NJ -- As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tries to advance a healthcare reform bill onto the Senate floor, just under half of Americans, 48%, say they trust the Democrats in Congress to change the nation's healthcare system; 52% express little or no trust in them. Trust in President Obama on healthcare is a bit higher, at 55%, while trust in the Republicans in Congress -- 37% -- is significantly lower.
