If Democrats are still hanging on to their highly
mistaken belief that Obamacare would grow on the American people and
that it would be an asset come election time, they're going to be
extremely disappointed. According to Rasmussen's latest national
telephone survey of likely voters, voter pessimism towards the new
national health care bill
has reached an all-time high, while the
number of insured voters who feel it will force them to switch their
coverage is up 11 points from early last month (
emphasis added):
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds
that 57% of Likely U.S. Voters say the recently passed health care law
will be bad for the country. That's the highest level of
pessimism measured since regular tracking began following Congress'
passage of the law in late March. Thirty-two percent (32%) say
the health care plan will be good for the United States.
Prior to this survey, belief that the plan is good for the country
ranged from 34% to 41%, while those who predict it will be bad for the
country range from 49% to 54%.
Yet the liberal elites in
Washington that think they know what's good for the rest of us,
overwhelmingly support the bill:
... while 70% of Mainstream
voters feel the bill is bad for the country, 80% of the
Political Class disagree and see it as a good thing for
America.
Clearly, by "political class," Rasmussen means
Democrats in Washington since virtually all Republican lawmakers
vehemently
oppose Obamacare.
And likely voters overwhelmingly favor repeal of Obamacare:
Fifty-nine
percent (59%) of all voters now favor repeal of the health care bill.
Thirty-eight percent (38%) oppose repeal. These findings include 45%
who Strongly Favor repeal and 28% who Strongly Oppose repeal. Support
for repeal has ranged from 52% to 63%, while opposition has ranged from
32% to 42%.
Most Republicans and unaffiliated voters continue to strongly favor
repeal of the health care bill and believe it will be bad for the
country. Democrats, on the other hand, have remained supportive of the
bill and feel it will be positive for the country.
