Support for Obamacare Surges Among Democrats

March 31, 2014 · 3:11 pm ET · Leave a Comment

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds Democrats “are rallying back behind the 2010 health reform law and boosting President Obama’s ratings for handling the law’s rollout.”

“But most Republicans and independents remain stubbornly opposed to Obama’s signature first-term achievement, making the law a continued liability for Democratic candidates as this year’s midterm elections get underway.”

“Overall, 49% support and 48% oppose the health reform law in the new poll, hardly changed from January but clearly better than November, when 40% expressed support and 57% were opposed. The growth in support has been concentrated among those who ‘somewhat’ support the law, with strong opponents still outnumbering strong supporters by a 36% to 25% margin.”
