Via The Hill:
Public approval of ObamaCare continued to sink this summer, issuing the latest warning for vulnerable Democrats who will face voters this fall after backing the law.
Public approval of ObamaCare continued to sink this summer, issuing the latest warning for vulnerable Democrats who will face voters this fall after backing the law.
Just 35 percent of voters now support the Affordable Care Act, down 3 percentage points from May, according to a monthly poll by the Kaiser Health Foundation released on Tuesday. Support for the healthcare overhaul law once stood at 50 percent, just weeks after it was signed in 2010.
The percentage of voters who are dissatisfied with the law is also slipping as a larger share of respondents said they didn’t have an opinion. A total of 47 percent of voters said they feel negatively about the law, down from an all-time negativity rating high of 53 percent in July.
Healthcare remains one of the most important issues in midterm elections, ranking only behind the economy and jobs as voters’ top issue. Still, four years after its passage, nearly 60 percent of voters said they have not felt any direct impact of the law, according to the poll.
