"Public support for the Affordable Care Act narrowly notched a new high in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, while criticism of Barack Obama's handling of the law's rollout - although still substantial - has eased from its peak last fall."

Wow! The April Fools jokes are coming Fast and Furious today.
Thank GOD, you RINO progressive East Coast hack.
WOW.
What a load-question.
Everyone wants changes to the health care system. From that, they deduce WE WANT THE MONSTROSITY KNOWN AS OBAMACARE.
Freakin progressive East Coast hacks.
More Beltway BS from the manure machine. Believing anything that comes from that source is an exercise in foolishness.
Times are so great we should send the lovely Michelle, her Mom and her wonderful daughters on a exotic, expensive vacation - they have so earned it.
Wow, yesterday I read support for BOcare was at 25%.
What a difference a one-day news cycle makes.
Yeah, notice they never used the term Obamacare( or even ACA ) in their questions. They leave it as vague as possible so they can put their own interpretation on it.
Overall, do you support or oppose the federal law making changes to the health care system? Do you feel that way strongly, or somewhat?
Notice, it does not say "Obamacare". It does not say "The Affordable Care Act". It does not in fact identify the law at all. It says "the federal law making changes to the health care system".
Well, given that people are somewhat ignorant, and given that Obama is acting illegally anyway, how many people took one of Obama's last three months of announcements of "changes in the health care law", and assumed they were new law that was "changing the health care system", and are happy with THESE changes, and support THESE changes?
After all, a lot of conservatives supposedly supported it now. Maybe that was conservatives saying they supported the delay in the mandate that we have been fighting for the past 2 years.
The post poll has always been more positive for the health care law than all the other polls, because it tries so hard to hide what it is asking.
This poll is BS!!!
Maybe democrats and their butt boys in the MSM could brag about MORE people signing up if they put out word they would shoot people who didn't sign up...
This falls under 'approach/avoidance research.. Even notice that when you buy a car you debate and debate but as soon as the decision's made you're 100% in favor of that car. Same with Obamacare... If you buy it you have two choices - either you made one smart move - OR you're a fool who buckled under. Most people decide it was one smart move. Democrats understand manipulation and mind-control. They don't understand basic right and wrong...
TWENTY SIX PERCENT APPROVE OF OBAMACARE.
Google is your friend
It’s a miracle.
You conclude you know enough about the disaster to call it Odimwitcare.
Then you go on to conclude that it will be a disaster for Republicans come November?
Most Americans would agree with your first conclusion.
Can you explain how you came to your second conclusion?
I ask because the two conclusions don’t mesh. Thanks.
The truth is that people are reacting to the ‘positive’, and very much contrived, news about the signups.
This is probably the high point for the year. Wait until the other stuff starts kicking in. Like people finding out about their 2015 premiums right before the election.
Thank you for pointing out what a sham these types of polls are.
I also have to believe that it is still early enough in the year, that many people have not yet realized that they cannot see their former doctors, and have yet to find out what their new co-pays and deductibles will mean to their out of pocket costs.
Yes, all of that too.
Obamacare’s not going to just suddenly implode. It’s going to fail in a cascading manner, where the public is going to be exposed to increasing levels of pain that can be directly attributed to it.
But we really shouldn’t be looking for a silver bullet kill, or trying to interfere in what basic economics indicate will be a nice and natural downward progression.
These types of polls are meant to be propaganda and “headline” polls to manipulate the Low Info Voters. That the media is complicit in this tells you just how bad our election system is.
The IRS shuts down TEA Party groups while the FEC ignores the billions in free advertising via the legacy media. What’s the publicity value to the Democratic brand of never hearing about Democratic corruption, Democratic voter fraud, or Democratic crony capitalists and their politicians?
That’s got to be worth billions to a brand, no?
