WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans increasingly think Democrats have a better plan for healthcare than Republicans, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted after the White House announced that more people than expected had signed up for the "Obamacare" health plan.
Nearly one-third of respondents in the online survey released on Tuesday said they prefer Democrats' plan, policy or approach to healthcare, compared to just 18 percent for Republicans. This marks both an uptick in support for Democrats and a slide for Republicans since a similar poll in February.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius stepped down last week after overseeing the law's rollout, including the HealthCare.gov website's tumultuous first weeks, when many users were unable to access the system to purchase or research their insurance options.
But a surge of late sign-ups for health coverage pushed the number to over 7.1 million people by the end of March, and Sebelius said before resigning that more than 7.5 million were expected to sign up this year.
"In the last couple of weeks, as the exchanges hit their goals, news coverage has been more positive and the support of the Democratic Party on this issue has rebounded," said Ipsos pollster Chris Jackson.
"It's not that independents are moving their way, it's that Democrats who had previously been a little bit ambivalent in their support are coming back to the party," he said.
One-fifth of respondents said they did not know which party had a better plan, and another fifth said neither party did.

Giant FACE PALM!
What plan by the republicans has been allowed to come forward?
What is the current Obamacare approval rating? Something like 32%!?!?
Gee more people signed up for Obamacare than previously thought?
BULL$#!!TE
We were originally told that 30 million Americans were without insurance.
Now they claim 7.1 million have signed up.
(Of course the NSA knows when everybody had their last BM. But nobody knows how many people have actually paid)
To top it off...Out of 7.1 million who have signed up for Obamacare...
5.4 MILLION ARE THOSE WHO LOST THEIR PREVIOUS INSURANCE BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE.
This whole thing is
BULL$#!!TE
Sorry, I didn’t think the </sarc> tag was necessary on that one.
These low-information idiots will be oblivious right up until their bitter end, when, diagnosed with renal failure or a cancer, the spawn of Dr Mengele Ezekiel, the Independent Payment Advisory Board, tells them to go buy a casket or urn, and find a nice tree to lay down under and DIE ALREADY!
Of course The DUmmies and PhsyKOZ and HuffPos are claiming a victory.
I’m sure the question was posed something like this - “Do you support the Democrats’ Affordable Care Act to insure all Americans or do you want the Republicans to take it away and leave you with nothing?”
Increasingly support could mean anything. It sucked before now 1 person who got it free, likes it. DEM SPEAK is PROPAGANDA SPEAK.
So, let’s see, nearly one third = 32% or so and 18% equals 50%. Therefore, half the people polled had no opinion? What am I.missing here?
Do the stupid republicans in the house or senate even have a plan?
Do they have a plan for anything?
When are they going to figure out how to get a message out?
Weak, spineless **tards.
BULL$#!!TE
The low information Neanderthals are here to stay and continue voting for commie ‘RATS.
“He who controls the information...”
In other news: scientist recently discovered that if you run around a tree in the nude at a high enough speed, it is entirely possible to scr3w yourself...
That is all...
I don’t know anyone in the medical professions who likes Obamacare. None.
Anyone who supports that pair of execrable traitors is my enemy.
Public education.
Wait? The republicans have a plan that the public is widely aware of?!
