The poll doesn't necessarily have much to do with the issue.
Gallup shows Obama's approval rating rising with positive economic reports. The contraception thing is only a voting issue for a segment of the population that's not terribly large.

You mean her remarks about how all women, even married ones, should have reproductive health coverage under insurance plans that they pay for themselves out of their own pockets?
Those comments?
You didn't read what she said so STFU.

Obama Fares Worse Among Women after Month-Long Contraception Mandate Battle
Washington Post poll contradicts Washington Post narrative about female voters.
2:37 PM, MAR 12, 2012 • BY JOHN MCCORMACK
How's the great contraception mandate battle of 2012 playing out? If you read the Washington Post's news coverage, the issue is supposedly killing Republicans among female voters. But the newest Washington Post/ABC poll tells a different story.
During the first few days of February, about a week before Obama declared a so-called "accommodation" to the contraception/abortifacient mandate, a Washington Post/ABC poll showed Obama's approval rating at 50 percent, with 46 percent of Americans disapproving.
Then, from March 7 to 10--a week into the national media firestorm surrounding Rush Limbaugh's degrading remarks about Georgetown Law student and liberal activist Sandra Fluke--Washington Post/ABC conducted another poll. It found Obama's approval rating at 46 percent, down four points from February, and his disapproval rating at 50 percent, up four points from February.
In February, Obama was leading Mitt Romney, 51 percent to 45 percent among registered voters. In March, Obama was trailing Mitt Romney, 47 percent to 49 percent among registered voters. The Post/ABC pollster finds that Obama "did better among men and women alike last month, and has lost ground slightly among both sexes this month."

clearly everything should be covered by insurance. when a person gets a splinter, they need emergency care and should stay in a hospital for a month at zero costs.
if someone gets a paperclip, well clearly this is an obamacare issue and that person is entitled to two months of hospital stay, and full pay. clearly no person should have to use "sick" time for an emergency like this
over the counter drugs should also be covered by obama care insurance

Polls mean very little at this time because there's so much time between now and the election. Carter was close to Reagan right up to the election, for example.

Merc admitted he and his wife were parasites, and too damn cheap or lazy to pay for their own birth control. He could probably pay for his wife's pill if he gave up the internet at home. Or are we paying for his bandwidth on Lit, too?
That's right, military members have full health benefits. We get free housing and a living stipend as well. Go ahead and make a thread about how you want military members to give their benefits back, coward.

Enough of the lies about Sandra Fluke wanting something for free. Insurance isn't free. Georgetown student health insurance isn't free either. She pays $1,865 per year for it according to their student health website I'm looking at.

Okay you're off iggy for now because your misconceptions should cured for the greater good of your ignorant kin. $3000 is the cost over 3-4 years, not the annual cost. I mean this is crystal clear in her testimony. You DID read her testimony, right? It's only 2-3 pages long so I'm sure you've had time to read it by now.
$3000/3.5 years = $857 per year.
Now also consider that the $3000 figure is out-of-pocket cost. Insurance companies negotiate with pharmaceutical companies at a greatly reduced rate. So the cost to her group plan is actually far less than $857. Maybe 30% less, so let's put that figure at $600 per year.
She pays $1900 per year for about $600 in reproductive health benefits.
Then the actuaries at the insurance company calculate the X% chance that pregnancy is avoided per customer. Each pregnancy and delivery costs tens of thousands of dollars, plus they're on the hook for the baby's care. And there is significant risk that of a high-risk pregnancy or that the baby will have special needs, spiking the cost to the insurance company much futher.
So the $600 cost to the insurance company is then modified by the chance the woman would have gotten pregnant. The true "cost" of providing reproductive health care to Fluke is close to nothing and might even be a negative cost.

Yes. Or rather technically I never left. When I left active duty status I did not resign my commission, I went into Ready Reserve status and went into civilian contract work on the base my wife is stationed at. That contract period ended and I did not renew it because we will not be at this base much longer.
So in the gap between civy work and leaving the base I volunteered to return to reserve status and then immediately activate for the rest of my time here. So yes now I'm back in the military reserves this time and currently activated. I work in the same clinic I did when I was a contractor, just doing something a little different.
Then they threw me a curve ball and put me on one of the bases in Japan to do some things surrounding the 1-year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami, and the US military's role in helping out (Operation Tomadachi). I shouldn't be here much longer.
What kind of military service did you volunteer for?
