The Continuing (and Escalating) Popularity of Repeal

Published May 14, 2012 9:02pm ET



Nearly half of all Americans (46 percent) now “strongly” favor the repeal of Obamacare, while barely a quarter (26 percent) “strongly” oppose it — according to the latest Rasmussen poll of likely voters.  Among independents, the split is even greater — 46 percent now “strongly” favor repeal, while only 21 percent “strongly” oppose it.

Overall, including those who don’t feel “strongly,” likely voters across the political spectrum favor repeal by a margin of 19 percentage points — 56 to 37 percent — while independents favor it by a margin of 22 points — 56 to 34 percent.
