A new CBS News poll finds more Americans than ever want the Affordable Care Act repealed.
According to the poll, 36 percent of Americans want Congress to expand or keep the health care law while 39 percent want Congress to repeal it - the highest percentage seen in CBS News polls. The poll also found a majority of Americans - 54 percent - disapprove of the health care law, 36 percent of Americans approve of it and 10 percent said they don't know about it.
The poll also found just 13 percent of Americans say the health care law will personally "help me" while 38 percent said they believe the law will personally "hurt me."

The throw in Beghazi/IRS/AP scandals, quite a cocktail. By mid-October, Obama will be in deep doo-doo.
My recent experience with a very liberal young man who could not wait to vote for hope and change:
He and another young person were discussing their experience with hours being cut by retail store when they approached 30 hours. The “terrible” retailer was cutting their hours back because the employer did not want to take the chance their employee would exceed 30 hours.
I was in earshot and said that is most likely due to Obamacare.
The very liberal young man did not disagree but stated that he refused to believe that their were bad intentions in passing the law.
I added to his comment by saying the problem with large top-down programs is they always cause unintended consequences.
He changed subject.
My takeaway from this discussion is that the young man still does not like what is happening to him but will accept the consequence and suffer rather than admit his ideals for Obama’s plans were misplaced.
We’ll see how it polls next January when the new tax filing season begins.
I wonder if the 36 per cent who supposedly approve of Obamacare think it’s free?
It’s so cute that Americans still think they have a say in running their government. :)
What are the odds the tax forms aren't ready on time, because no one knows or can project what the forms will look like, or what they ask, or how they'll calculate penalties?
There are certainly enough votes in the House and perhaps enough in the Senate to overturn it, but there isn't a two-thirds majority to avoid a Presidential veto, is there?
Pretty darned good odds IMO. They may have to postpone tax day altogether. LOL
Well, if you voted for Obama, I don’t feel sorry for you. and if you didn’t vote, or didn’t vote for whatever non-entity (I forgot already, McCain?) the Republicans ran, then I still don’t feel sorry for you.
Elections have consequences.
Has any Freeper, who isn’t a troll, been polled since Obama was crowned?
Out here in Californicator land, the pollsters don’t seem to want to poll a conservative.
Wait until it kicks in. It will be REALLY unpopular then.
“Because of Obamacare, my son’s hours were reduced by 25%”
Yet with the Obozo stats, he is probably still considered employed.
Eu Tu, CBS? Eu Tu?
I dated a gal who turned out to be a commie. She was completely content thinking “rich white folk” were going to get the shaft in order to pay for obamacare so long as she was going to “get relief from the insurance corporate pigs”. I am tempted to look her up in 2014 just to sneer. ;)
Some democrats read it and found out what was in it.
Yup. This entire fiasco was all to get healthcare for an extra ten percent of the population - which they could have done either by expanding medicare or by getting insurance companies out of the business of paying for routine visits and letting doctors compete in a free market - thereby bringing down costs for everyday scrapes and flus.
So I'm guessing that the ten percent who know nothing about obamneycare are the same ten percent who will be getting it for free courtesy of the taxpayer whether they are given free insurance of continue to just go to the ER like everybody already knows they will.
I disagree....with all of the subsidies that will kick in and folks not having to pay....they’re not going to give that up easily.
Will there be more people not paying for healthcare than there are now, with indigent funds and medicare? It seems to me that people who are already getting free or near free healthcare will be made to jump through more hoops. The ones who might like it at first are people like me, who pay $10 to $20 thousand a year on healthcare, and get lousy policies that don’t measure up to what the average person on medicare gets. But likewise, by the time we get through jumping through hoops, and giving up control of our lives, we’ll be ready to go back to crappy, incredibly expensive insurance.
Most people still don’t even know what this law is about and what it will do to them.
Hell..... I work at a hospital and with several practices, and even the administrative folks have no real clue what its going to bring upon them!(now, that’s BAD)
