New Poll More Americans Support Obamacare Than Oppose it

Come to my town and say that...

Awe an Obama groupie, how cute! I didn't think there were anymore of you out there......

Maybe in the poll you quoted but in every other poll ....... not so much.

Poll Numbers

Here are five things that public opinion polling tells us about the law.

Obamacare remains unpopular: Just about every national poll indicates that more Americans disapprove of the law than support the measure. According to the most recent survey, conducted just over a week ago by CBS News, 53% of Americans gave the law a thumbs down, compared to 41% saying they approve of the Affordable Care Act.

Other polls conducted earlier this month had similar results. By a 53% to 43% margin, voters in a George Washington University/Battleground survey oppose the law. By a 46% to 38% margin, Americans questioned in a Kaiser Family Foundation poll said they had an unfavorable view of Obamacare. Fifty-three percent of adults nationwide surveyed in a Pew Research Center poll said they disapproved of the law, with 41% saying they supported it.

And according to a CNN/ORC International survey, 57% of adults nationwide oppose the measure, compared to 39% supporting it.

This lack of support for the law is nothing new. While the numbers have rebounded a bit since last fall's disastrous roll out of healthcare.gov, overall the measure has been unpopular with many Americans dating back to the first debates over the legislation in 2009.

Monday afternoon, a new ABC News/Washington Post poll indicated that 49% of Americans supported the law, with 48% opposed. The uptick in support for the measure since January came from a double digit increase in backing from Democrats.

All we can do is post reliable sources with information to show that the OP may have wrong information, after all we need to give him a chance to redeem her or himself.

Here it is folks this is the time we were waiting for. I am sure that those who oppose it will yell conspiracy but polls dont lie and they are very scientific.

Overall, 49 percent support and 48 percent oppose the health-care law in the new poll, hardly changed from January (46-49 support-oppose) but clearly better than November, when 40 percent expressed support and 57 percent were opposed. The growth in support has been concentrated among those who "somewhat" support the law, with strong opponents still outnumbering strong supporters by a 36 to 25 percent margin. Democratic support has surged to a record-tying 76 percent, jumping 11 percentage points since January to the highest level since March 2010, immediately after the law was passed. Currently at 78 percent , Republican opposition has outpaced Democratic support by double digits in nearly every poll over the past two years, but in the latest survey they are within three percentage points.

Support for the national health care law’s requirement that every American obtain health insurance is down slightly from recent months, as is support for a single-payer health care system.

...and enough of the personal attacks.

This thread is starting to resemble Swiss cheese. Not a good thing.

On that note, it would be nice if some of our more veteran members would cut a relatively new member a little slack and perhaps show him or her the proverbial ATS ropes. It shouldn't matter what side of the political spectrum they happen to venture.



That said, stick to the topic at hand or risk having your posting privileges suspended. Consider this fair warning.

Here's the real scoop.

Thanks for posting more information, the more the better, I think ACA is about to get an all time low when insurance starts to try and collect the unpaid premiums.
