Reichspollster: 61% Want to Repeal ObamaCare

My fears that people would reconcile themselves to the President's health care program have fortunately not come to pass. A strong majority of likely voters still oppose ObamaCare and want repeal.

Sixty-one percent (61%) of Likely U.S. Voters now at least somewhat favor repeal of the new national health care law, including 50% who Strongly Favor it. That’s up eight points from a week ago and the highest level of opposition measured since late May.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 33% of Likely Voters oppose repeal. Since the passage of the bill in late March, a majority of voters have consistently favored repeal of the new law, with support ranging from a low of 53% to a high of 63%.

Only 33% say the health care plan will be good for the country, the lowest level measured since late July. Fifty-six percent (56%) disagree and believe the new law will be bad for the United States.

Part of that, no doubt, is the realization that rising insurance rates are part of the ObamaCare mandates. As more folks and businesses notice the higher rates after October 1, more will come to oppose the Democrats' health care reform and the source.
