Fox Poll: By a 40-Point Margin, Independents Support Repeal

Published



A new Fox News poll says that independents support the repeal of Obamacare by a whopping 40-point margin (65 to 25 percent).  That’s more than twice the margin by which Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale, or Franklin Roosevelt beat Herbert Hoover.

Overall, the poll says that respondents favor repeal by a margin of 13 points (53 to 40 percent).  But the only thing keeping that double-digit margin from being even higher is the fact that about seven in ten Democratic respondents say they continue to stand by the “comprehensive” overhaul of American medicine — which even President Obama now admits won’t be ready to be implemented on schedule.  Hence his unilateral and unconstitutional delay of parts of it — a move that independents, by a 22-point margin (55 to 33 percent), think is “unacceptable.”
