The next time you see a poll claiming Americans want or don't want a public option in a health care reform bill, don't take it too seriously.
A new Pew Research survey finds that just 56% of Americans even know that the "public option" is part of the debate over health care reform. A third of the public (33%) does not know what policy area discussion of a "public option" refers to, and 11% guessed incorrectly.
