RE: Only 37 percent expressed some approval for the ACA while 56 percent disapprove of what most agree will be Barack Obama’s legacy achievement in office.

Folks, not only Gallup, but poll after poll after poll of other polling outfits seem to show that Obama's approval floor is between 37 to 39 percent. This particular poll is no different. It hasn't changed for the past year and his floor seems to be stuck at that range. This tells me that he still has THAT BASE of support he can always pander to no matter what happens.

My personal conclusion is this : 37% of this country is a lost cause.

Of the “approve”, they actually mean

“I approve of the self-righteousness I feel when I think about how much I care about providing affordable healthcare for everyone.”

Just wait until ABC & the rest hear about this.

Way past time for Impeachment, I hope the military doesn't remove him and seize power.

Waitress, could I have another cup of coffee to go with my big steaming plate of schadenfreude?

Right into the Gruber.

This was discussed this morning on bloomberg. It is interesting that the approval/disapproval ratio is reversed for those actually using obamacare. Supposedly signups and renewals are happening much smoother this year at twice the pace or something like that.

Let me tell you something: the lower it goes, the more Obola, Gruber and Pelousy enjoy cramming it down our throats.

“Just wait until ABC & the rest hear about this.”

They’ll ignore it.

He Does Not Care. He’s narcissistic. It’s all about him.

[GilesB]

Yeah right! The folks signed up for a freebie, love it. But signing up and actually USING it are two different things. I’d like to see the numbers for people who have actually triedto use it for something other than the sniffles, and those whoare actually paying for it, without subsidies.

[skeeter]

Oh no thats not possible. When Bush's popularity hit 40% they ran it as a headline.

Day after day.

[RightOnTheBorder]

I don’t doubt the existence of people like that but I believe most of this 37% is people who still think they are gonna get something free out of bammycare. Watch what happens as these leaches find out that their shiny new bammycare card won’t actually get them a free doctor, or possibly any doctor at all.

No wonder Obama thinks he just got a mandate... /s /s /s /s /s

[bert]

no, the 37% is hard core leftist that mindlessly support the liberal agenda.

[Red Badger]

I lost my insurance at work because of it.
In MY house it’s 100% disapprove.......................................

[skeeter]

Beg yer pardon, but 146 million voters is a huge mandate, their not voting notwithstanding.

Incidentally that is approximately the same number of voters not voting for Obama in '12. Can you imagine the reaction from the MSM if the GOP had tried to claim to speak for them as Obama did recently? They still be laughing.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL, ya think?

I agree!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Kill it NOW.

While the public appears to have the same opinion of both, this particular poll is about the ACA (Obamacare) and not about Obama’s approval rating.
