Obamacare Turns Five, Awaits Repeal

Published March 23, 2015 10:04am ET



It has now been five years since President Obama signed Obamacare into law — and more than two years and two months since any poll found it to be popular. The last time a poll found Obamacare to be popular was during Obama’s first term.

During his second term (now mercifully more than halfway over), Real Clear Politics has listed 178 polls on Obamacare.  All 178 have found it to be unpopular.  In addition, the Kaiser Health Tracking Poll — a left-leaning outlier that RCP doesn’t even list and which (contrary to essentially every other poll) actually claimed Obamacare was popular at the time of its passage — has released 22 polls on Obamacare during Obama’s second term.  All 22 have found it to be unpopular.  So, in all, Obamacare has gone 0-200 during Obama’s second term, far worse than the cumulative 0-124 record of #16 seeds in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
