Middle Class Americans Want Repeal

Published



By a colossal margin, middle class Americans want Obamacare to be repealed. The latest Rasmussen poll of likely voters shows that, among those who make between $40,000 and $60,000 a year, a whopping 68 percent support the repeal of Obamacare, while only 27 percent oppose it — a margin of 41 points.  Among those who feel “strongly” (either way), the margin is 52 to 15 percent — or better than 3 to 1.   

Such respondents represent the typical American household. The median American household income (based on the latest Census figures) is about $50,000.  That’s the same median American household whose real income has fallen 6.7 percent — or $3,609 — during President Obama’s economic “recovery.”
