Poll: 7 in 10 Americans support mandatory quarantines for health workers who have treated Ebola patients




The Obama administration is on the wrong side of another issue. I can't believe his job approval is above 30%. 

Via NBC News:
More than seven in 10 Americans support mandatory quarantines for health professionals who have treated Ebola patients in West Africa, even if they have no symptoms, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
The survey shows that 71 percent of those surveyed say the health workers should be subject to a 21-day quarantine, while 24 percent disagree.[...]
Support for the quarantines varies by political party, age and education level.
Eighty-five percent of self-described Republicans say they think the quarantines should be enforced, versus 65 percent of Democrats and 60 percent of independents. Ninety-one percent of Tea Party backers also believe the quarantines are necessary.
