Rasmussen: 57% Say Health Care Plan Bad For the Country, 59% Favor Repeal

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.
