If you read the article, it said that 14% have been positively affected by ACA and 33% negatively impacted. Most people haven't been affected yet due to all of the exemptions.

So what happens if the Republicans gain the house, senate, and White house as a result of the ACA. Do they repeal it?

Except studies that show when provisions of the ACA were explained support of the ACA increased to over 80%. Funny how people who actually know what the ACA is support while people don't know what it is oppose it.

Much like people who claim horror stories when their stories get fact checked turn out that the stories are just that stories with no actual basis just tall tales.

I think it is funny you think people actually know what is in Obamacare or how this can be easily explained in a phone call, I'm sure they covered in depth the 11.5 million words that are part of the law and following regulations.

If I had to guess, I bet their are less than 5 people in the entire country that have read the entire bill and following regulations.

What people know is what affects their pocket book, and that is a negative consequence more than a positive one.

The Rasmussen Poll has consistently given Obama his BEST approval ratings.

Pay attention to facts - not Kos BS spin that Rasmussen is always conservative biased.

If 33% have negative impact, then 67% will have benefitted, or have neutral impact.

Either way, it is still an opinion poll taken before the law is in full effect.

Rasmussen also have Obama with best approval rating (-5%) on RCP and the only poll that I have seen give him a positive approval in the past month.

It is nonsense to dismiss Rasmussen as a tainted poll biased against Democrats.
