Fox News poll: Slim (?!) majority (52% to 41%) continues to oppose ObamaCare
FoxNews ^ | Aug 14, 2014 | Dan Blanton

the latest Fox News national poll finds voters oppose the law by a 52-41 percent margin.

As in the past, the new poll shows that most Democrats favor Obamacare (74 percent), while most Republicans (84 percent) and independents (61 percent) are against it.

Voters in every age group are more likely to oppose the law than favor it, with one exception: those ages 65 and over. And that group only favors it by two percentage points.

President Obama receives higher job approval ratings on health care than on almost any other issue: 42 percent of voters approve, while 53 percent disapprove.

Since 40% of the American population are on the take I guess the results of every poll taken regarding governmental overreach will be 'slim'.

“Voters in every age group are more likely to oppose the law than favor it, with one exception: those ages 65 and over. And that group only favors it by two percentage points. “

Half a trillion dollars stolen from Medicare for this monstrosity and seniors still favor it? Death panels, denial of care.

My guess is most questioned don’t even know what Obamacare is.

It is a slim 2% majority but a massive 11% plurality.

Its called being cute. 52% is a slim majority. But an 11 point gap between support and opposition is quite large.

“52% is a slim majority. But an 11 point gap between support and opposition is quite large.”

True. 52% is over 26% greater than 41% (it is also 11 percentage points greater).

Yeah I hate headline writers. I mean, it IS slim if you look at how much over 50% but not if you look at the spread. Of course about 10% of the oppose are LibTards who think we need single payer.

Tough to poll this one.

If it was a Presidential election they'd call it a landslide.

i was a victim of an aggravated assault last month, stabbed about ten times or so, both lungs collapsed, had to be airlifted to hospital, spent 6 days in hospital.

Was told that more than likely Obamacare would have paid little or nothing and that my decision to not sign up was actually a good one. Victims of Violent Crime took care of all the bills and meds.

Will I get health insurance in the future? Of course i will, so far my employer has not offered anything, so I am changing employers I think, but I will NEVER sign up for obamacare, because in the end it will leave you hanging.

I am hoping elections and or something from Congress will abolish Obamacre and then I can pay a monthly fee for a far superior and trusting service.

fta... Voters in every age group are more likely to oppose the law than favor it, with one exception: those ages 65 and over. And that group only favors it by two percentage points.
*********************************
Why would people 65 and older favor Obamacare, when they have Medicare? These folks paid into Medicare until they retired and still pay over $1200 a year into Medicare through deductions from their Social Security. I doubt they can find an Obamacare plan with lower premiums.

Those numbers are fictitious Obama administration generated approval numbers...they need that system to work, otherwise they will have to shift to another path to initiate Project: The Mark of the Beast

One suspects that among the 41 percent currently for Obama "care", a majority will immediately turn against it after they are forced into it.

It sounds like FOX is trying to say that ObamaCare is finally becoming “wildly popular” as predicted by the ‘RATS as it continues its slide into the toilet. That’s weird.

Slim when it suits their agenda. But if a lib won an election by that number they’d call it a landslide.
