NBC/WSJ poll: Public divided over whether website woes are short-term or long-term problem
By Mark Murray, Senior Political Editor, NBC News

Americans are divided about whether the problems associated with the health-care law’s federal website are a short-term issue than can be solved, or a long-term issue that signals deeper troubles, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Thirty-seven percent of respondents say that the website woes are a short-term technical problem that can be fixed, while 31 percent believe they point to a longer-term issues with the law’s design that can’t be corrected.

Another 30 percent think it’s too soon to say.

The full survey will be released at 6:30 pm ET.

1. There will always be that 30-35%

that'll believe the worst about this President. They're the same clowns who vote R no matter what the candidate believes.

3. The numbers are about what I figured

The 30% that say it is to early that's the middle in the political spectrum. And that they opted to not judge the roll out because it is too early, doesn't bode well if you are a bagger.

6. I agree

They're hoping they would have seen 80% disapproval. But then they don't live in the same reality based universe as the rest of us.

2. The depth of stupidity illustrated by this poll is astounding and discouraging. You

mean to tell me that 61% of those respondents think a website can never be fixed?

JHC!

4. or 67% think it can be fixed

half empty half full ....

[hatrack]

5. "Debate Rages On Outcome Of Future Event" - Wow, imagine that!

Imagine the WSJ coverage of the outcome of the Super Bowl, or the World Series.

9. I don't think they got the results they wanted

My first thought when I read the article, "what a waste - the poll is kind of pointless." But then right after that thought I went wait this is a wsj poll, I bet they thought it would be 60% for never fix, 20% can be fixed 20% undecided. So they must be shocked at the 30% that aren't rushing the white house with pitch forks and tar.

7. Is this the same Intelligent, insightful, all-knowing public that elected George Bush ????

I wouldn't trust half of them to predict where the sky is at.

8. sufficient understanding of IT to answer this poll credibly divided

in a ratio of about 98% to 2%. Most respondents have no fucking clue what they are talking about. But we asked 'em anyway.

10. Exactly . . .

. . . the notion that public opinion is at all relevant to what is, in the end, a technical issue, is beyond absurd.

11. Well, the answer will be known to all within 6 weeks. nt
