Just 12% of Americans support the Senate Republican health care plan, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds, amid a roiling debate over whether the GOP will deliver on its signature promise to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

In the survey, taken Saturday through Tuesday, a 53% majority say Congress should either leave the law known as Obamacare alone or work to fix its problems while keeping its framework intact.

But the dilemma for the GOP is this: Eight in 10 Republicans support repeal, and close to a third say the law should be repealed even if a replacement health care plan isn't ready yet. Just 11% of independents and 2% of Democrats feel that way.

All the polls last few days are saying keep ACA but fix it.

1. And of those, 11% are just too glued to Faux News to know that grandma's nursing home will close.

The other 1% are so rich, they're couldn't care less.

2. And CNN says poll says only 1 in 5 approve of the current GOP bill.

That's a pretty low number. They couldn't have done worse if they were TRYING to craft a bill that all Americans hate.

3. Do these polling firms refer to the repeal of "Obamacare" or repeal of the "Affordable Care Act" ?

Put both the ACA and the GOP's proposed bullshit act side by side by bullet points of coverage, options, costs, tax cuts to wealthy, maximum benefits, numbers uninsured, age limits of young adults covered on family policy, Medicaid coverage children and nursing home care etc. and see what kind of answers you get. (especially when it comes to repeal and place)

4. But the only ones who really count are the top 1% of the top 1%.

Sad, but true.

5. It's not a health plan

It's a tax cut for the ruling class.

6. 12% is about right

7. I saw a graph on msnbc today---their were 4 National polls released yesterday and

all had low approvals for #TrumpCare. I think I recall that the highest was a Fox poll with 27% approving of TrumpCare.
