Polling Memo: The ObamaCare Train Wreck

May 16, 2013

YG Network: No Hope 4 ObamaCare

About a month ago, top democrat and key proponent of the President’s healthcare bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told radio host Rusty Humphries that ObamaCare is headed for a huge “train wreck.”

Voters would seemingly agree as a 44 percent plurality believes ObamaCare will make things worse for them and their family.  When looking at Independents, this number spikes to a near majority at 48 percent. Additionally, 53% of voters say they would repeal or change ObamaCare.

Despite clear voter discontent with the healthcare law, once again, House Democrats, voted against repeal of the President’s Affordable Care Act.
