From the poll.

That 60% is divided into two groups that aren't listed in this poll, but are on others.

Those, like me, who doesn't like the bill in its current form, and want it changed, not just repealed.

The country is roughly 50/50 on this.

Read my other poll, its a little more accurate.
Nonsense.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows - for the second week in a row - that 60% favor repeal of the national health care law. This includes 46% who Strongly Favor repeal. Thirty-six percent (36%) oppose repeal of the law, with 27% who are Strongly Opposed.

Support for repeal has ranged from 50% to 63% in weekly tracking since March of last year.
60% FAVOR repeal, with 46% of that 60% strongly in favor.

36% OPPOSE repeal, with 27% of that 36% strongly opposed.

You read it wrong.

Poll Watch - Kaiser Health Reform
Kaiser! Haha. Kaiser was the ONLY "pollster" (are they even that?) that showed a majority of the public in favor of obamacare.

Totally discredited.

Kaiser Health Poll Shows: 56% Of Midterm Voters Want Obamacare Repealed


and those voters sure did vote, didn't they?

The number of American voters who like the new health care law remains small -- most want it repealed or changed, according to a Fox News poll released Thursday.

The inescapable FACT is - obamacare remains unpopular, more than it was before passed into law.

You're ignoring every other poll done on the subject with more options than "Do you favor repeal, yes or no" Thats what the Rasmussen poll did, and thats not an accurate survey.

That would have been better than the disaster the dems created.

Did you miss the midterm elections? Did you miss the GOp running against obamcare and for repeal? Did you miss the HISTORIC loss for the democrats that ensued?

They ARE listening, they HAVE the mandate.

So you're in favor of making it even worse than Obama and his merry men have already made it...?

Of course it is. Just because you claim it isn't, doesn't make it so.
