The number of voters who favor repeal of the health care law has fallen to its lowest level since the bill was passed by Congress in late March.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 50% still favor repeal of the bill, including 41% who Strongly Favor repeal.

I say: wait until they get their premium increases.
who says they pay premiums? I bet quite a few of them are welfare and get a great deal of care at little to no charge.
So scary!
This is quite a drop from the 61% of two weeks ago. Sounds like the sheeple are falling back in love with The Won.
Makes sense. For most people who get their insurance through work, the premium hikes won't kick in until the start of the new year. I would imagine that, plus the coming 0bama tax hikes, will serve to increase opposition.
Sounds more like rigged polls. I don’t think you can believe any of them anymore. They’re using them for “brain washing”.
When their premiums (premia ?) increase, I think support for Obamacare will only grow. That’s when they will start demanding the govt do something about it.. as in offer an alternative.
No, but it is election season and repeal has become a partisan issue.
If you are a Democrat, you have been told you cannot be for repeal (even if you were against passage.) Just like the Democrats in the House.
Not all changed their minds on repeal.
Some discovered they aren’t Democrats afterall.
Premium increases have just started rolling out. The effects are coming in way too early for Obama, but the results will be ugly for Obama Care.
Many households in my area are going to immediately feel $400-600 a month less; and that is not factoring health insurance...
Hope the idiots of this state do it right Nov. 02.
‘repeal’ is too strong a word. The entire bill doesn’t need to be repealed. I think Palin refers to repealing parts of it. In 2000 pages there has to be some worthwhile things.
So Republicans shouldn’t say ‘repeal’ in a manner that implies the entire bill because that will scare off a good many voters. The bill needs to be trimmed and fixed.
Already we are starting to roll over, just like the dems were hoping we would.
There’s a vast slice of the electorate that is both stupid and easily bought off.
With premium increase of 25% coming in 2011, small to middle size employers are going to be forced by economics to consider dropping health insurance. The annual penalty of $2000 per year imposed by Obamacare for not providing employer insurance is considerably less than the $6000 to $8000 per employee cost of providing insurance. People will be screaming for the single payer option when businesses drop health insurance as a benefit. This was part of the master plan. Stay tuned.
Weird how during the summer months when no one supposedly paying attention, the numbers were so high against it, now suddenly that the time of people paying attention to midterms is here, the numbers improve for this government takeover of rationed care...
I don’t believe it.
Wow. I bet the generic ballot will have substantially tightened when it is released today. Yuck!
This is my biggest concern, because 0bamaCare has been one of, if the main catalyst of the energy the anti-0bama voters have had going into the November elections. If resistance to 0bamaCare fizzles, we're sunk. It would mean the liberals were indeed right... that, given enough time, Americans will ultimately submit and accept their fate.
has been one of, if the main = has been one of the main, if NOT the main...
Recent polls have also shown a growing fondness for 0bama as well. Yuck again!
The fact is, traditionally, Dem voters always drift back to the party in October before a Nov election. I expect all of the races will tighten and SOBama’s favorables will go up. The key to winning the Senate and House will be the Enthusiasm Factor — ie, turnout.
