Election Wasn’t About Obamacare

A new Public Opinion Strategies (R) Election Night Poll shows that the Affordable Care Act was not as much of a vote factor in 2014 as it was in 2010.

Key findings:

• Less than one-third of voters (32%) recalled seeing, reading, or hearing any campaign commercials on the topic of the health care law or Obamacare. This is drastically different than voter recall levels in 2010 where nearly seven in ten voters (69%) recalled campaign commercials on the ACA.
• The 32% of voters who recalled seeing, reading, or hearing campaign commercials on the topic of the ACA this election report the commercials were overwhelmingly in opposition to the ACA. This is consistent with the 2010 election.
