For much of the past seven months, Republican strategy for winning the 2014 midterm elections has revolved around casting "Obamacare." However, with the law's implementation now beginning to exceed many expectations, a new poll makes it clear the Affordable Care Act is gaining in popularity — even in districts friendly to the law's opposition.

A new poll conducted by the Democratic firm Democracy Corps and released Monday displays an incredible swing in voters' attitudes toward Obamacare.

Even in Republican-held districts, the plurality of voters now want to implement and fix the law, rather than repeal and replace it. The pollsters argue the results should push Democrats to advocate the former approach in their campaigns — the latter position aligns with what Republicans have continued to advocate since the law was passed.

One of the most startling changes was observed among Independent voters. In a December survey from Democracy Corps, conducted when the law was mired in the third month of a disastrous rollout, 53% said Congress should "repeal and replace the health care reform law." In the new poll, only 41% of independents said Congress should "implement and fix it."

1. Independants literally Billions are spent and wasted to court their vote.

The Supreme Court has allowed Corporations to buy what little is left of American Democracy all to appeal to a segment of the population unable to discern their own self interest. Independants just barely intelligent enough to feel uncomfortable at right wing corporate media bull shit.
