   since I know lots of people ignore the text above the comments and don’t look at other posts on the site, I wanted to let you all know we are no longer allowing links in comments, and if you comment with a link, it’s not going to show up. We had some recent security problems and although the comments had nothing to do with that, as a part of tightening security we had to break a tool we used that was very effective in getting rid of automated comment spam. So it’s not that we hate links, it’s just that we hate spam. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Polls Show Opposition to ObamaCare Is on the Rise Again

    February’s Kaiser Family Foundation health tracking poll puts opposition to the law at 42 percent and support at 36 percent

    - -

    A newly released Reason-Rupe poll offers some confirmation that more Americans hold negative views of the law. Asked an open-ended question about what comes to mind when they hear the term “ObamaCare,” 48 percent gave a negative response of some sort. At 22 percent, the largest single response was a generalized comment that the law is a bad thing.

    Overall, the poll shows pessimism about the law. Asked about the law’s impact on the country, meanwhile, 37 percent responded that ObamaCare made the nation worse off, compared to 31 percent who said it made the country better off.

    Since the law passed, Democrats have (not surprisingly) tended to be much more supportive of the law than Republicans. That’s still true, but Kaiser’s poll finds that Democratic support has dropped substantially since last year’s presidential election, from 72 percent in November to 57 percent in the February month’s poll.

    Government Accountability Office just released a report highlighting the uncertainty about the law’s budget projections, ObamaCare-friendly states have warned about the potential for health premium “rate shock,” and the Congressional Budget Office has expressed skepticism about the law’s implementation prospects.

    funny thing about polling on Obamacare is when you ask people about Obamacare it doesn’t do well, but if you ask them specific questions about parts of Obamacare they generally poll well individually.

    I don’t think it matters what people think of Obamacare until it fully goes into effect. Show me a poll from 2019 what people think of Obamacare(ie 5 years after it’s been in effect) that’s the true polling of it’s popularity.

    Mark,

    It is interesting how a question or statement can be framed. I think we should remember what the President has said about how H/C costs will be lower. So far that does not seem to be the case but it is early. I just do not want to hear the partisan excuses if it does not do what has been promised, and if it does than the R’s will need to admit that.

    @Bobbyv

    If you go to countries that do have health care systems it seems they are generally loved by the population(grant you most have single payer systems). At the recent London Olympics it’s opening ceremonies had a salute to the UK’s Health Care system and if you look at any greatest Canadian lists, the guy who brought health care into the Canadian system is generally highly regarded(many times being labelled as the greatest Canadian ever)

    Personally I am interested to see how well accepted Obamacare is 20 years from now. if it is well accepted I don’t think history will be that favorable to the Republicans and it will be reason enough putting Obama on mt Rushmore. On the flip side if it was a big mistake Obama’s legacy goes down the tubes.

    I am no fan of O’Reilly but he is the gold standard of cable news entertainment pundit shows. Hannity is the middle point between O’Reilly(probably as serious as you can get for news entertainment shows) and Glen Beck(a complete joke)

    Mark,

    I am not sure if we will need to wait that long. I think fair minded people will give him some credit for at least trying (if it does not work). Those who hate him will hate him. It is such a massive undertaking that I am thinking odds are against but we will see.

    There is just something people don’t like about Obama. In 2008 and 2012, there were 66 senate elections, covering all 50 states. In 35 of those states, Democrats won 43 senate elections, losing none. However, 9 of those 35 states voted for McCain in 2008, and 11 of them voted for Mitt Romney in 2012. In 2 of the states, both parties split the 2 elections, both of which Obama won, and both McCain and Romney won each of the remaining 13 states, which produced 19 Republican senators and no Democrats.

    It’s been a while since any party has done that well in senate races, but for some reason, they didn’t translate into Obama victories.
