Most voters say ObamaCare will play an important role in their vote in this year’s elections, and over half are more inclined to back the candidate who opposes the health care law.
That’s according to a Fox News poll released Monday.
The new poll asks voters what they would do if the only difference between two congressional candidates is that one promises to fight for the health care law and the other promises to fight against it.
By a 53-39 percent margin, more voters say they would back the anti-ObamaCare candidate.
Independents, always a key voting bloc, would back that candidate by a 25 percentage-point margin (54-29 percent, with another 14 percent saying it depends)...
Some 80 percent of Republicans say the candidate’s stand on ObamaCare will be an important factor to their vote, and 87 percent of Republicans oppose the law. Among independents, 72 percent say the law will be important in their decision, and 63 percent oppose it.

The GOP-e can even those odds up a bit.
If the socons keep quiet until november 2014, GOP may have a chance. First win elections, then fight for your agenda.
It never works in reverse.
this can’t be true! the honorable and very intelligent Debbie Wastermain said that all Democrats will be running on the success of the 20 Million people who have already enrolled!
Ahem, that’s 4 bazillion people according to the latest numbers from Captain Midnight.
Thanks Siegfried X, screw snarkiness ping.

Except when Dole, McCain and Romney ran for US President on Liberal GOP-E Platforms.
‘The only way to make a difference is to be different,’ Romneycare Romney versus Obamacare Obama in 2012 proved that to be true, beyond a smidgen of a doubt.
Social liberal Romney won the independents by a huge margin, if you want to keep losing, then keep running against the conservative base of America.
Sure hope this holds through the elections in November!
They’ll come up with something right before election.
Thanks
Only reason Romney won nomination because Newt and Ricky duked it out till the bitter end. If conservatives have better sense and be less selfish, only ONE conservative should be running in the primaries after May-June 2016.
But just watch..they will fight each other to death and Jeb will win nomination if Christy (one bridge too many) drops out.
If either Newt or Rick Santorum drops out, no way Romney wins the nomination. Why blame the establishment GOP when it is so obvious why Mitt got the nomination.
” - - - Why blame the establishment GOP - - - ? “
Mainly because without the support for Obama by the “Establishment GOP,” Obama, Holder, Reid and Lerner could never have wrecked the US Federal Government after the National Election of 2010.
The “Establishment GOP” saw to it that the most Socialist Republican got nominated in Tampa, while making sure that the Republican Conservatives were locked out.
The Mid-Term Election of 2014 is payback for us Conservative Republicans, sweet payback!
After the carnage of 2014, the National Election of 2016 will THE time, - - - time for a change.
Deal with it.
I thought we were discussing 2012.
Newt should have been the nominee. He would have obliterated ZERO in debates. But conservatives like Rick Santorum are too self centered.
We need to keep in mind that all these stories are just the Partisan Media Shills (PMS) rallying the base.
PMS? Good one Civ.
I’ve been using it intermittently for perhaps a year, not consistently, but no one had noticed before. :’) Thanks GOPJ!!
