Voters Continue to Turn Against Obamacare

Today’s Rasmussen Reports has data suggesting that support for Obamacare is shrinking to the vanishing point:

Voters overwhelmingly want to change or repeal the new national health care law. One-out-of-two want to scrap it completely and start over again.

Given the problems associated with the law, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Congress and the president should repeal it and start again from the beginning. That’s up from 43% support in late October. Another 31% think Congress and the president should go through the law piece by piece to improve it.

Just 16% want to leave the law the way it is, down slightly from 18% four weeks ago.

Obamacare’s numbers are being helped somewhat by the web site issues that have dominated press coverage. Once more people understand how the law works, the percentage favoring outright repeal will rise.
