http://pewresearch.org/ The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan "fact tank" that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. It does so by conducting public opinion polling and social science research; by reporting news and analyzing news coverage; and by holding forums and briefings. It does not take positions on policy issues. en-us Copyright: (C) Copyright 2006 The Pew Research Center.

If anything, opposition to reform has declined, with currently 42% in favor and 39% opposed to the health care proposals in Congress.
