New Poll: Obama, Dems and Obamacare Growing More and More Unpopular
It’s not a good morning to be a Democrat.
The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll has some really bad news for congressional Dems, who are losing on the generic ballot by a whopping 53-39.
Meanwhile, Obamacare is becoming more and more unpopular, despite Democrats’ claims to the contrary.
A few highlights from ABC’s coverage of the poll:
Republicans winning big: “Registered voters by 53-39 percent in the national survey say they’d rather see the Republicans in control of Congress as a counterbalance to Obama’s policies than a Democratic-led Congress to help support him. It was similar in fall 2010, when the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives and gained six Senate seats.”
Obama sinking: “Obama’s job approval rating, after a slight winter rebound, has lost 5 points among all adults since March, to 41 percent, the lowest of his presidency by a single point. Fifty-two percent disapprove, with “strong” disapproval exceeding strong approval by 17 percentage points.”
Americans do not like Obamacare: “While he’s hailed insurance exchange sign-ups as a marker of the Affordable Care Act’s success, the program and his rating for handling it have lost ground, both down from their levels late last month after the Healthcare.gov website was stabilized. The law gets 44 percent support, down 5 points; Obama has just 37 percent approval for its implementation, down 7.”
***ABC News also notes that voters are specifically blaming Obamacare for their rising health care costs.
The bottom line: Democrats remain totally out-of-touch with the electorate. Americans are looking for a check and balance on this administration and know that there will never be any accountability of Obamacare if Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker of the House again.
