Now that last week's big health care "summit" has come and gone, it's a good time to take a look at what kind of impact it had on American public opinion about the Democrat's proposed reforms.

Short answer?  Still opposed.  The latest survey by Rasmussen shows 52% of voters opposed and 44% in favor.  And remember, that's AFTER all the fluff coverage it received from the summit.

The more interesting numbers however, (and the ones that the politicians up for reelection this year should pay attention to), are those that demonstrate the passion and intensity people have about the issue.  The survey shows 43% of voters being "strongly opposed", with only 22% "strongly in favor".

Not good for Democrats who have voted for it already, much less thinking about using the budget reconciliation process to get around a filibuster and pass it with a simple majority in Congress.

Some other interesting items:

• 76% of respondents say that their own insurance coverage is either "good" or "excellent"
• 48% believe that the quality of their health care will get worse if the bill passes
• 52% think the bill will make the cost of health care go up
• Voters over age 65 have the lowest levels of support for the bill
• Republicans oppose the bill more than Democrats support it
• A 43% plurality of Independent voters oppose the bill
• 63% think it would be a better idea to focus on smaller bills focused on individual reforms
