Poll: Regroup on health care, most say

A majority of Americans say President Obama and congressional Democrats should suspend work on the health care bill that has been on the verge of passage and consider alternatives that would draw more Republican support, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds.

The results underscore the unsettled prospects for health care legislation — which has consumed much of the capital's energies for nearly a year — in the wake of Republican Scott Brown's upset victory in the Massachusetts Senate race Tuesday. He will give the GOP the 41st vote they need to sustain a filibuster and block action.
