Rasmussen Reports has released the results of its latest poll on Obamacare. Published on Monday, 3/14/2011, Rasmussen states:
Support for repeal of the national health care law has reached its highest level since May of last year. The number of voters who believe the plan will increase the cost of care has tied its highest level since the law’s passage last March.
The national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 62% favor repeal of the health care law, including 51% who Strongly Favor it. Only 33% of voters oppose repeal, with 24% who are Strongly Opposed.
Support for repeal is at a 10-month high, with the number that Strongly Favors repeal at its highest level to date. Overall support for repeal has ranged from a low of 50% to a high of 63% since Democrats in Congress passed it a year ago. The Republican-led House of Representatives voted earlier this year to repeal the law, but the repeal effort is stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Sixty-one percent (61%) of voters believe the law will cause health care costs to go up. Just 17% expect costs to go down under the plan, while 15% expect them to remain about the same.
Overall, 54% of voters think the national health care plan will be bad for the country, a view shared by 48% to 56% since the law’s passage. Thirty-four percent (34%) say the plan will be good for the country.
This battle is far from over. Be encouraged all you conservatives. The House of Representatives has already voted to repeal Obamacare. Communicate with your Senators to take action now before we waste more time and money on this bad healthcare plan.
Well thank goodness we’re a Republica and not a Democracy where the mob rules, right, Ed? 😉
No word, of course, on how many of those favoring repeal want to replace it with much better, stronger reform like universal single-payer! Forget ObamaCare; we need KucinichCare!
Question: Why don’t you commission a Rasmussen survey to answer that question? Answer: Because you know the answer already. I would be astonished if more than 30% wanted your Kucinichcare……and so would you. Is Kucinich your hero? That slipper would fit you perfectly.
