Poll: Young, Poor, Independents 'Strongly' Agree ObamaCare's Got To Go

Rasmussen Reports did extensive polling this weekend -- the weekend after the Supreme Court ruled to uphold Obama Care -- and found that 52% of Americans still want it repealed. Moreover, 49% believe the bill is bad for the country while only 37% think it's good.

And that's the best news poll for Democrats. Not only is ObamaCare polling upside down among almost every conceivable demographic; the intensity of opposition compared to support is even wider.

58% of men favor repeal of ObamaCare, 34% oppose.

46% of women favor repeal, only 43% oppose.

Even among the youth vote, Obama can't get over 50%: 41% favor repeal while only 44% want ObamaCare to remain the law of the land.

24% of blacks want ObamaCare repealed, while only 50% want it to remain in place.

But it's the income-level cross tabs that are most revealing.

Of those making under $20,000 a year, 39% favor repeal, 47% oppose. Of those making $20k to $40K, 49% favor repeal, 47% oppose.

Now watch what happens when we reach the middle class, which some economists say will bear 75% of the ObamaCare burden. Of those making $40 to $60k a year, 67% favor repeal, only 29% oppose.

This makes perfect sense, because it's those making between $40 and $60k annually who can both afford health insurance but know they are on the margins when this government monstrosity increases premium prices and overall health care costs.

Among independents, 50% of those who don't consider themselves either a Republican or Democrat favor repeal, only 35% oppose.

They asked for it by voting for Zero. Let’s see them do something about it.

So this issue looks like a loser all around for Bozo.

I wonder if his superior cool and celebrity style will still make up for it in the long run?

This is another one for the "new media" to handle.

The MSM is going to try to sell night for day. They're going to try to help Obama jam this up everyone's patootie; they think if they do it hard enough, we'll all start to like it.

Right now, the truth has a foothold; it's up to the new media to see to it that the MSM doesn't strangle it in the crib.

No one who labors and produces wants to be taxed further into destitution to support another government looting fiasco. No one, not even the poor will benefit from death care. At least no one that actually wants to live their lives.

The only individuals who might benefit from this nightmare are those that come into this country illegally so that they can force Hard working Americans to pay for their medical care.

Not a great surprise. An overwhelming portion of working class black retirees are in the Medicare Plus program. This is the program that allows for as little as a zero dollar premium for a private alternative to medicare and a very expensive medicare supplement.

They are not that stupid as to not know that this puts them at great risk of either several thousand dollars a year for a Medicare Supplement insurance policy or a complete loss of their entire estate if the do not buy one but have a serious medical condition.

And this is a Rasmussen poll (revered as pearls of wisdom by many here) - for all of those who were running around crying about the sky falling, let’s hang it up because the Zero supposedly got a (now not evident) “bounce” post Obamacare...Rasmussen’s never wrong, oh what shall we do it’s all over, blah blah blah...Just goes to show what a difference a day or two can make. Let those who have ears to hear and eyes to see learn. (There’s no hope for the rest).

People are too uninformed to answer the pollster. But they want what is “free”.

not that stupid

Well, why do the "man on the street" interviews on the celebrity shows prove otherwise? I guess it's "uninformed", rather than "stupid."

OK for the most part they are that stupid, but they do like their Medicare plus as scene by the high % of them that are on the program. ObumblerCare squeezes $500 Bil out of the Medicare plus program.

Actually, it is a surprise. I would have thought it would be 10% repeal, 90% remain. Just like everything black voters do related to obama.
