During President Obama’s second term, about the only thing more common than seeing him out on the golf course has been seeing polls highlighting the striking unpopularity of his signature legislation. Obama has golfed a reported 79 times so far in his second term (compared to a reported 24 times for President George W. Bush in both of his terms combined). But even Obama’s inordinate determination to hit the links hasn’t remotely been able to keep pace with the publication of polls indicating Americans’ opposition to Obamacare. According to Real Clear Politics, in Obama’s second term alone, 140 polls have found Obamacare to be unpopular. The number finding it to be popular? Zero.
On average, these 140 polls have shown that just 40 percent of Americans favor Obamacare, while 52 percent oppose it. So, for Obamacare, a double-digit deficit is the norm. (Of the 140 polls, 102 have shown double-digit deficits.) The half-dozen polls taken since July 4 of this year have shown Obamacare faring even a bit worse, as they have shown an average tally of 41 percent in favor of it and 55 percent opposed.
