Obamacare's Popularity Hits All-Time Low
Weekly Standard ^ | NOVEMBER 8, 2010 | JEFFREY H. ANDERSON

Posted on 11/09/2010 12:08:04 PM PST by RobinMasters

The November Kaiser Health Tracking Poll shows that President Obama's health care overhaul has now hit a lower level of popularity than at any previous time in his presidency. Kaiser writes, "Just a quarter of the public (25 percent) now says they expect their own families to be better off under the health reform law, which is the lowest share since KFF [Kaiser Family Foundation] began tracking this question." Kaiser notes that it began tracking the question in February of 2009, just weeks after President Obama's inauguration.

The survey also confirms that "health care voters" were central to the Republicans' overwhelming victory in the midterms. Such voters – defined by Kaiser as "those who named health care or health care reform as one of the top two factors in deciding their vote for Congress" – overwhelmingly supported Republican candidates, with nearly six in ten (59 percent) backing the GOP.

Aren’t the dems in general,
and oBozo in particular,
going around lying that it is getting MORE popular?

Al least the popularity arc of Obama is tracking the ceiling of moonbats in this country.

looks like Obama needs to double up on getting that message out. Perhaps he and his wife can visit all the battleground states some more (in between golfing and shopping trips of course)

IMO, the new House must repeal this genocide immediately. I would notify all RATs in the House and the Senate that we intend to tie this around their necks in 2012 if they do not assist us in repealing it. The Imam would be wise to heed the wishes of the American people and not veto the repeal of his DeathCare.

25 percent? There is no support for Obamacare in this country. And Red State Democrats who follow the polls should get behind its repeal.

“Just a quarter of the public (25 percent) now says they expect their own families to be better off under the health reform law.”

Turn off the TV idiots - you future is totally screwed not just under health reform.

Savage was talking last night about his fears that white children will face a future of slavery. Sadly he is probably correct. Not a big deal because TV (including Fox) shows endless commercials of “dumb white males” and white females according to Mad Men and Desparate Housewives are all tramps. They are usually all Christians too.

Debt is slavery. But

It’s just a messaging problem.

Obamacare was never popular. The people running around saying “there is no mandate to repeal it” fail to realize there was no mandate to enact it in the first place (although I maintain they do realize it, and are just hypocrites).

Until another month goes by, and more of its effects come to light. Then it will hit another all time low.

Is he close to “scumbag” yet? Clinton was the last to hold that title.
