Quinnipiac poll puts Obama approval at 42/50, ObamaCare at 41/55

The White House may be celebrating its ObamaCare sign-up figures, but they appear to have misjudged the mood of the electorate. Few are celebrating the law or its impact, according to the latest poll from Quinnipiac, and that’s not the only issue on which they are dissatisfied, either. While Barack Obama declared the debate “over” on ObamaCare, 55% of people declared it very much open (via Jeff Dunetz):

American voters oppose the Affordable Care Act 55 – 41 percent and 40 percent are less likely to vote for a candidate who supports Obamacare, while 27 percent are more likely and 31 percent say this will not affect their vote.

There is little from this poll in which Obama and the White House can take comfort. On almost every question, Obama finds himself under water, including what had been formerly Democratic policy areas of strength. On the economy, Obama gets a 40/55 approval rating, which is a big problem for Democrats who now want to pivot in that direction and away from ObamaCare. In scoring the state of the economy, only 26% of respondents rate it as “good,” with a null reading for “excellent” (1% of Democrats think it is). Overall, 74% think it’s “not so good” or “poor,” and among independents it’s 79%.

Due to all the mandate delays, most people haven’t been impacted yet. It’s like asking “how do you like the car you haven’t bought yet?”

You ever notice how these assh.les on the left love to declare the debate over?

Exactly. Democrats are a disaster, but one thing they are expert at, is manipulating the public. Democrats have no constraints such as reality, truth, or a critical media, so they can say or do anything to facilitate fooling the public.

The media is killing us. Absolutely, positively killing us.

Obama must got his ideas from Hitler. VW started production on the Peoples Car and had to pay for it completely upfront. WWII started and the car never came in production for the general public. But VW produced schwimmwagens and other VW beetles for the military. It was the British military that saved VW at the end of the war. See Obama has gotten his playbook from the Nazis.

Two observations

1) Bill Clinton won his first election with around 43% of the voters (thanks Ross)

2) Quinnapiac is noted for its staunch rightward tilt in all of its polling /s

Quinnipiac will be getting a visit from the Obama Poll Police.

This can't be...the wapoabc push poll reported that obamacare is now favored 490% to .010% against {by the convicts in federal prisons}.

A huge part of that 41% are smug liberals whom get their healthcare from a government entity and hence do not have to deal with obamacare directly
