The latest Rasmussen poll of likely voters shows that, by a margin of 15 percentage points, Americans support the repeal of President Obama’s signature legislation. Among all respondents, 54 percent support the repeal of Obamacare, compared to 39 percent who oppose it. Independents support repeal by a tally of 53 to 38 percent, and more than four out of five independents who support repeal support it “strongly” (43 percent of independents “strongly” support repeal, while 10 percent support it “somewhat”).
The poll comes on the heels of the Kaiser Health Tracking poll released last week. Despite the fact that only 22 percent of the Kaiser poll’s respondents were Republicans, it showed that Obamacare faces a 17-point public approval deficit (51 to 34 percent); that only 2 percent of Republicans, 11 percent of independents, and 20 percent of Democrats have a “very favorable” opinion of the overhaul; and that support for Obamacare is now lower than at any point since Obama signed it into law.
