Posted by italianstallion on Tue Jul 10 11:47:53 2012 . . .in wake of SCOTUS rulingTPM Americans are now evenly split over the Affordable Care Act, according to a new poll released Tuesday. In the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, 47 percent say they support the measure signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010, while 47 percent are opposed. The health care overhaul has gained support since the ABC News/Washington Post survey in April, when 53 percent were opposed to “Obamacare” and only 39 percent supported the law. There’s a comparable split when it comes to opinon of the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act: 42 percent approve of the court’s ruling, compared with 44 percent who disapprove. Link text HEALTH CARE – On another issue, health care, the candidates’ best path is unclear. While Obama shows no advantage on the issue, his law itself has gotten something of a boost – Americans now divide evenly on it, 47-47 percent, support-oppose. It was 39-53 percent in April, before the Supreme Court upheld the law’s individual mandate. |
