A CBS News poll shows that ObamaCare’s popularity has fallen off dramatically since the day of its passage.  It appears that Americans aren’t as inclined to reward politicians for defying them as the Democrats had hoped.  The CBS News poll shows that ObamaCare is now 10 percentage points less popular than it was on the day of its passage.  On March 22, Americans opposed ObamaCare by 11 points (48 to 37 percent).  Now they oppose it by 21 points (53 to 32 percent).   

And while health care isn’t the only game in town, it’s certainly the one that most encapsulates what Americans don’t like about the Democrats’ Washington-centric, profligate ways. The poll shows that President Obama is far weaker on health care than on the economy or foreign policy. Most Americans approve of his handling of foreign policy (although one suspects that his inclination to eschew allies and bow down to enemies will be a major issue in the next presidential campaign), and by a margin of 8 points (50 to 42 percent) they disapprove of his handling of the economy. But they disapprove of his handling of health care by far more — by the same margin that they disapprove of his legislation:  21 points (55 to 34 percent).
