Opposition to President Barack Obama's health care law jumped after he signed it - a clear indication his victory could become a liability for Democrats in this fall's elections.

A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds Americans oppose the health care remake 50 percent to 39 percent.

Disapproval for Obama's handling of health care also increased from 46 percent in early March before he signed the bill, to 52 percent currently...

At the end of the article they finally say that it was a poll of “adults” — you know what that means, a poll of registered or likely voters would show a much higher opposition.

I would not be surprised if some of the new opposition is from the idiots who thought they would be getting free ObamaCare right away.

AP is the most reliably Leftist polling agency. They were the ones claiming it would be President John Kerry by a comfortable margin on election day 2004.

If their numbers are this bad, the real numbers are much much worse.

What’s happening in Massachussetts, where, we were told, the insurance companies closed shop after the Governor capped their premium increases?

It has to be repealed. Lawsuits won’t work. Obama has to be repealed before we can get rid of his health scam that is 3 yrs.

"AP is the most reliably Leftist polling agency. They were the ones claiming it would be President John Kerry by a comfortable margin on election day 2004. If their numbers are this bad, the real numbers are much much worse."

It was also AP that inaccurately called the razor-thin uncallable election in Florida no less than 3 times in one night:

First for Bush, then for Gore, then again for Bush. And while the last call was proven correct, the margin was so slim, no one should have been calling it for at least 48 hours.

The nice thing about being a reporter for AP is that you only need a C+ in English to get a job, and only a hatred of Republicans to keep getting promotions.
