Most Americans back the Supreme Court's decisions to legalize same sex marriage and to protect federal exchange subsidies
Americans approve of the two major decisions made by the Supreme Court last week, but they continue to view the two issues differently: there is majority support for a national right to same-sex marriage, but Americans in the latest Economist/YouGov Poll are still not convinced that the Affordable Care Act is working or is the right thing for the country.
Americans support the Court’s decision in King v. Burwell that those who purchased health insurance on the federal exchange could still receive federal subsidies, despite the wording in one section of the law that restricted those subsidies to insurance purchased on “State” exchanges. But just about four in ten continue to judge Obamacare as a failure, and only 28% call it a success. And while in the last year the percentage wanting to keep or expand the law has been generally larger than the percentage wanting to repeal it, there will continue to be attempts to overturn or de-fund the law.
Four in ten overall, and three-quarters of Republicans would support those efforts to de-fund the program. Nearly half think that the intense battles to eliminate the law have been worth it, even though the ACA so far has survived two appeals to the Supreme Court.

You have a great tagline.
YOUGOV polls by profiles derived from previous polls, i.e. it asks “are your views closer to Democrats or Republicans?”
If you say Independent it asks “are your views closer to Democrats or Republicans?”
It gets the results it wants.

Not sure if I believe these polls. People use polls to lie or stretch the truth doncha know. Anyway, these are not the hills to die on ... It is illegal entry of foreigners into our country. Closed borders, ending illegal entry of foreigners is a homeland security issue, a gov budget issue for human services, housing, and education funds and a crime issue. Ilegal entry of foreigners into our country is a much broader issue.
