Advocates tout rising support for child health plan

Democrats and healthcare advocates are expressing increasing confidence that their emphasis on expanding children's health insurance - a measure already vetoed once by President Bush - has succeeded in putting healthcare on the national agenda. They point to a new round of polls that found wide public support for the child health program. Proponents say the difference between the Republican and Democratic positions is stark, giving voters a clear choice on what many call the most important domestic issue in next year's presidential election.
