A Gallup poll finds that for the first time since October, slightly more Americans want their Congressional representatives to vote in favor of health care reform than want them to vote against it.

The poll finds that 49% of Americans want their Congressman to vote for health care reform, as opposed to 46% who want their representative to vote against it.

When the results are broken down based on certainty however, they skew the other way. Thirty-seven percent said they would advise their representatives to vote for health care, and 12% said they would lean toward advising them to vote for it. Forty-one percent said they would advise their representative to vote against the bill, with only 5% saying they would lean toward that same advice.
