Americans Oppose Shutting Down Government Over Obamacare

A new CNBC Poll finds that, in general, Americans oppose defunding Obamacare by a plurality of 44% to 38%.

“Opposition to defunding increases sharply when the issue of shutting down the government and defaulting is included. In that case, Americans oppose defunding 59% to 19%, with 18% of respondents unsure. The final 4% is a group of people who want to defund Obamacare, but become unsure when asked if they still hold that view if it means shutting down the government.”
