I had not seen the Rasmussen release today...

"Forty-seven percent (47%) of unaffiliated voters now favor the plan while 50% are opposed. Those figures include 19% who Strongly Favor the plan and 38% who are Strongly Opposed."
"If the plan passes, 34% of voters say the quality of care will get better and
46% say it will get worse. In August, the numbers were 23% better and 50% worse.
Forty-two percent (42%) say passage of the plan will make the cost of health care go up while 28% say it will make costs go down. In August, 52% thought the plan would lead to higher costs, and only 17% thought it would achieve the stated goal of lowering costs. "
On the latter two points there has been improvement, but it still is almost 1.5 to 1 that think the healthcare will cost more. You still have 50% of independents opposed.
Bottom line, as mentioned, there has been no great shift due to Wilsons comments. Once people start realizing Obama is full of shit on the cost front, those numbers will likely return.
"“
The most important fundamental is that 68% of American voters have health-insurance coverage they rate good or excellent … Most of these voters approach the health-care reform debate fearing that they have more to lose than to gain.”"
