Young adults overwhelming supporter of new bill

A recent poll conducted by the national power Gallup Consulting shows that although most adults support the new health care bill passed by Congress, the overwhelming supporter of this bill are middle aged individuals (Ages 18-34). This age group goes hand in hand with the income group that also most supports this bill (Less than $24,000). A few reasons for this

• This age group is least likely to have health insurance due to the lack of available jobs.
• With the low income, households are less likely to be able to afford insurance.

The most important part of this poll is how Gallup conducts it. Not only is it categorized by age group, the amount of household income also plays a vital roll in recognizing the type of people that are in favor of this and how it could be used going forward.

• Older individuals not favoring this makes sense due to them having their insurance already cared for.
  
• This type of split in age and income allows for future research with these same individuals later on as the bill moves forward.

There is one reason why I believe that this poll could be deemed un-useful. Gallup polls the people that already have no healthcare coverage. This bill is obviously going to be beneficial for them so saying they are in favor is only common sense.

The health care debate is a big topic around the country right now. And having graphics like these allows other individuals to view peoples opinions other than their own.
