1. This slide is awesome

Finally, someone asking the right question. Fully half of the people who are dissatisfied with ACA want it expanded.

2. Yes, and note

expand/keep it is above 50 percent among independents, with the majority supporting "expand law."

The 56 percent of Democrats supporting "expand law" is excellent. Still, fully 82 percent of Democrats support expand/keep it.

4. Great post - these numbers are very, very good

It is interesting that 63% support contraceptives being given free. I am listening to Blunt speaking in the Senate - and hearing him site a Moynihan bill that included a provision on excluding ABORTION. He then speaks of how this was the most liberal bill and that this was not controversial. This conflating of contraception with abortion really shows where the right wing of the Republican party is going - and they are clearly outside the mainstream.

5. Health Care

This Is bad for republicans despite all the reapeling socalled Obama care In their primarys for general election the general public
support keeping It or expanding It.

Obama has better numbers on both medicare and health care reform than any Republican.

7. The percentages favoring the bill and the idea of expanding it will rise

once the bill is in full effect. Isn't that supposed to happen in 2014?

8. Agree, and

specific provisions of the bill garner overwhelming support, from the December poll:
