The November Kaiser Health Tracking poll shows that Americans have an “unfavorable” (44 percent), rather than a “favorable” (37 percent), view of Obamacare — including 29 percent “very unfavorable” to 17 percent “very favorable.” What’s most remarkable about Kaiser’s survey, however, is that it shows such results despite having polled a group of respondents that bears little resemblance to the American electorate.
One year ago, exit polling showed that 35 percent of those who voted were Democrats, while 35 percent were Republicans. Kaiser keeps roughly that same percentage of Democrats in its survey (34 percent) but drops GOP representation down to just 21 percent — or about 60 percent of what it should be.
