Poll: Obamacare Support Nosedives To Tie Record Low

Support for Obamacare has hit the lowest level since the bill was passed, the latest Kaiser Health Tracking Poll shows.

Overall, just 35 percent have a favorable view of Obamacare while 40 percent have an unfavorable view, which ties an October 2011 poll for the lowest level ever.

Twenty-four percent have no opinion on the law which, according to Kaiser, continues a recent trend of Americans offering no opinion.

The Kaiser poll finds that, in the month of April, Americans are more divided than ever on their evaluations of the health law. Opinion remains deeply divided along partisan lines with 57 percent of Democrats favoring the law and 67 percent of Republicans opposing.

Half of the public (49 percent) say they do not have enough information to fully understand how Obamacare will impact their own family.

Sixty-five percent of Hispanics say they do not have enough information to understand the law compared with 48 percent of blacks and 45 percent of whites.

More than half of Americans (53 percent) support efforts to change or block the law, while only a third (33 percent) believe opponents should accept Obamacare as the law of the land, down from 40 percent since the beginning of the year.

Now is this among the 58% that actually know it exists?

Doesn't matter, right? Because it's Obama, right? We keep reelecting him, right?

So it doesn't matter.

“Twenty-four percent have no opinion on the law...”

There’s the problem! At least a quarter of our “citizens” are too stupid to have an opinion.

In a year or so ObamaCare will be less popular than Prohibition was.

I bet it is popular with people who begin sentences with the word “like” or the words “So, like...”

I wonder what happens when most Americans realize they can save money by simply paying out of pocket for medical?

I wonder what happens when those who do enroll in an Obamacare approved plan find out that a medical biochip implant will be required in their right hand or forehead by 2017?

I'll explain it. Hispanic illegals get health care. I pay for it. Got it?

The same percentage who scratched their ass, took a drag on their doob, and blankly responded.. "Huh?"

LOL. Interesting, considering there is no major political opposition to it anymore. People like John Kasich, who was elected to oppose it, now hails it is the greatest law in the history of our country.

There is plenty of political opposition to Democratcare. It will be like an anvil aound their necks, if the Republicans play it correctly. This will be a Rostenkowski moment for Obama. They are colllecting taxes for a “program” that is absolutley ridiculous, impossible to effect, let alone sustain. Shamefull. The taxes will be finally hitting the fan real time next year first quarter and the bungling role out of Democratcare will even have the press wailing. All to hit nicely as the midterms election season begins to turn in earnest. If you listen closely you can already here it. BLOODBATH!
