Affordable Care Act: Polls find support for repeal wanes
Source: Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — By a substantial margin, Americans disagree with the Republican argument that President Barack Obama's health care law should be repealed and replaced, but several weeks of relatively good news about the law have done little to change entrenched partisan views of it.
Those are the conclusions of two newly released public opinion surveys, one by a nonpartisan organization, the other by a leading Democratic polling firm. They suggest that the potency of GOP arguments against the law have waned but that it continues to be a risk for Democrats in key congressional races, particularly in the South.
Nearly 3 in 5 Americans said they would prefer to see their representatives in Congress “work to improve” the health care law rather than “work to repeal the law and replace it with something else,” according to the latest Kaiser Family Foundation health care poll.
Overall, however, opinions of the law remain negative, with 46 percent now having a generally unfavorable view of it and 38 percent generally positive, the Kaiser poll found. Those views are sharply divided by party, as has been the case since the law passed.
