Representatives passed sweeping health care legislation last Sunday, 41% of voters nationwide favored the legislation while 54% were opposed. Now that President Obama has signed the legislation into law, most voters want to see it repealed.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, conducted on the first two nights after the president signed the bill, shows that 55% favor repealing the legislation. Forty-two percent (42%) oppose repeal. Those figures include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal and 35% who Strongly Oppose it.
In terms of Election 2010, 52% say they’d vote for a candidate who favors repeal over one who does not. Forty-one percent (41%) would cast their vote for someone who opposes repeal.
Not surprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly favor repeal while most Democrats are opposed. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 59% favor repeal, and 35% are against it.
Most senior citizens (59%) also favor repeal. Earlier, voters over 65 had been more opposed to the health care plan than younger adults. Seniors use the health care system more than anyone else.

I suspect if those things were going to strike a chord with the public, they would have done so already.
Repeal,Replace and REAL Reform!
Tort reform etc have already struck a chord with the public. Look at the polls.
Obama is just about like Hitler in 1934. To his tirades against everybody, to his dressing down and humiliating Bibi, to his major league lies. He said this in Iowa: “From this day forward, all of the cynics, all the naysayers — they’re going to have to confront the reality of what this reform is and what it isn’t,” the president said. “They’ll have to finally acknowledge this isn’t a government takeover of our health care system.” So he took the truth and did an absolute 180. And like Hitler, he will resonate this lie until everyone believes it.
Maybe if he gave a couple hundred more speeches?
Pray for America
In other news 45% of Americans know nothing at all about the HC bill passed recently by Congress
My friend in Cananda sent me this email...
Our health care system is a complete flop !!!! 50% of the total taxes or 50% of the total revenues of our government is spent, should say wasted, on our health care, is the cost is rising every year....
And what do we get in return ? Unbelievable poor service, average waiting time we go the the urgency at the hospital is 30 hours, they park people in hallways for days because no rooms available.....and some frequently die there because nobody is available to look after them etc
There is a two year wait of heart surgeries.
Correct. He does that every single day of his life. 0bama is such a congenital liar, he doesn't even know the truth from his own BS anymore.
” And like Hitler, he will resonate this lie until everyone believes it.”
Hitler didn't have conservative talk radio, Fox News, or the internet, and sure as heck didn't have the Tea Parties to contend with. 0bama has been repeating these same lies about 0bamcare for over a year now, and most Americans still don't believe him. He is not going to have any more luck convincing people now that he had before.
That will do him about as much good as his last 100 speeches pushing 0bamcare: Voters will still not buy it.
what annoying me alot if Huckabee another some Republicans are now saying, they’re just tinker with the edges of the stuff they dont like, not repeal it! DON’T THEY SEEM TO GET IT, nothing in it is good, it create moral hazard and it still involves government involved in health care. So instead of 3 steps left on health care, Republicans are settlling for 1 step left
Only 55 percent! Why do so many stupid morons live in this country?
I think the real surprise is that as many as 55% are against this bill, given that the mainstream media are shilling for 0bamcare 24/7 and have been doing so for the last 12 months at least.
Plus in a two party system like this country, there will always be approx 45% that will support the presidential candidate of one party or the other, except in very few cases(Perot comes to mind). So hardcore Democrats will support the Democratic Party platform no mater how evil it is. Luckily, they are not in the majority in this country.
And, health care savings accounts and high deductible catastrophic coverage plans.
I also think that those 55% will crawl over broken bottles to vote this Nov., while the rest will be eating Cheetos and watching American Idol.
The number opposed to ObamaCare will gradually increase as time passes. Many sheeple are easily swayed by the MSM propoaganda machine. However, it is easier to shape people's opinion of a bill than it is of a law that has gone into effect. ObamaCare will have consequences for everyone, and mostly these consequences will be negative.
Once more and more sheeple become adversely affected by ObamaCare, it won't matter to them what the MSM propaganda machine says. They will be harmed, and they will be pissed.
Maybe if he gave a couple hundred more speeches?
You can bet all your buckwheats on that the idiot loves to hear him self talk bet he even talks in his sleep.
