Majority of Americans Favor Repeal of Health Care

Now that his health care initiative has passed, President Barack Obama has hit the campaign trail to sell it to voters. Early indications are that despite all the spin from both sides, hardly anybody is changing their mind.

Currently, two weeks after passage, 54% of the nation's likely voters still favor repealing the new law. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 42% oppose repeal. Those numbers virtually unchanged from last week and the week before. They include 43% who Strongly Favor repeal and 32% who Strongly Oppose it.

Repeal is favored by 80% of Republicans and 57% of unaffiliated voters. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Democrats oppose repeal.

Fifty-two percent (52%) now say that the health care law is bad for the country. That’s little changed from 50% a week ago. Forty percent (40%) believe it is good for the country. - Rasmussen Reports Poll
