Poll: Just as Many Americans Like Obamacare as Dislike It
National Journal ^ | 04/21/2015 | CAITLIN OWENS

Just as many Americans like Obamacare as dislike it, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released Tuesday morning.

The poll found that those in favor of the law have a minuscule edge over those who don't—43 percent see it favorably versus 42 percent unfavorably—but the difference falls within the survey's margin of sampling error.

Opinion still is sharply divided by party, with 70 percents of Democrats viewing the law favorably and 75 percent of Republicans viewing it unfavorably. Independents fall in the middle; 42 percent like it and 46 percent don't.

Last month, 43 percent of Americans viewed the law unfavorably and 41 percent favorably. In April of last year, the gap was larger; 46 percent viewed Obamacare unfavorably, 38 percent favorably.

Yeah, right. The employer mandate just hit baby Bro’s company. Anyone there with dependents is taking a very cold bath. The verbiage was...vigorous...

Love to know how many who like it, actually have to pay for it.

Those that get it for free....just love it.

Then there's others that get it for free that don't like doing the paperwork...too tiring...and takes time out from being the local King of "Who's Your Daddy?

Then there's the 10% who love it but they really don't know why.

[[Poll: Just as Many Americans Like Obamacare as Dislike It]]

So people like paying more, getting less, and not getting a choice about which doctors they can use? Really?

Most who “like” it haven’t used it because of the sky-high deductibles, I suspect.

Kaiser Foundation is an HMO that will do well when Obamacare is fully implemented. No bias in that poll! /s

Just as many American voters are idiots as not. It’s that ignorant “we want sumpin’ fo’ nuffin” attitude that leads down the path to socialism and destruction.

“Love to know how many who like it, actually have to pay for it”

The ONLY valid question.

I don’t believe it. Kaiser has an interest in the results of this poll.
