He isn't able to close the deal because the majority of

One week after President Obama’s speech to Congress, opposition to his health care reform plan has reached a new high of 55%. The latest Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll shows that just 42% now support the plan, matching the low first reached in August.

Following the speech last Wednesday night intended to relaunch the health care initiative, support for the president’s effort bounced as high as 51% (see <A  title="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/toplines/pt_survey_toplines/september_2009/toplines_health_care_september_11_12_2009" href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/toplines/pt_survey_toplines/september_2009/toplines_health_care_september_11_12_2009" bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED">day-by-day numbers</A>).
