From the latest Rasmussen poll:

Support for health care reform has slipped slightly as more voters think President Obama should work harder on his promise to cut the federal deficit in half in the next four years.

Thirty-six percent (36 percent) of U.S. voters say cutting the deficit is the most important of the four priorities the president cited in a speech to Congress in February, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That’s up from 32 percent in March.

At the same time, 24 percent rate health care reform as the most important of Obama’s priorities, down from 29 percent in the earlier survey.

But a growing number of voters (63 percent) — up from 54 percent in March — also see cutting the deficit in half as the goal the president is least likely to achieve.

Just after the president’s speech, 42 percent named deficit reduction as the top priority while 24 percent said health care.
