"Opposition is highest among senior citizens, at 74 percent, suggesting that seniors are most worried about changes to Medicare even if those changes are presented as ones that would not affect existing Medicare recipients."
"A majority of all demographic groups don't favor the GOP Medicare proposals," Holland adds. "That includes conservatives54 percent of them don't like the plan. As a result, rank-and-file Republicans are split right down the middle, with 48 percent favoring the GOP plan and 50 percent opposed."

tonite he showed were some republicans are using their mothers to back their proposals. The leadership is encouraging their parents to be used. I don't know. I hope Obama's team is paying attention. They don't need to get out ahead of the Dem's on this issue.
