Republicans Weighing Polls Before the Social Security Debate

Republican pollsters are warning House GOP leaders about trouble ahead on the President's Social Security reforms. The pollsters warn that changes to Social Security promise serious consequences for Republicans in the 2006 midterm elections. Kind of like what health care reform did to Democrats in 1994.
