When Americans are asked about in whom they have the most confidence to recommend the right thing about overhauling the health care system, 73 percent say doctors, 62 percent cite health care professors and researchers, 61 percent choose hospitals and President Obama places fourth at 58 percent, according to Gallup polling conducted June 13-14.

Bring up the rear are Democratic leaders in Congress (42 percent), health insurance companies (35 percent), and Republican leaders in Congress (34 percent).

Doctors get big majorities across party lines. When it comes to Obama, he ranks first among Democrats at 85 percent, fourth among independents at 53 percent, and second-to-last among Republican leaders at 28 percent, (their lowest mark goes to their Democratic colleagues on the Hill).
