Poll: ‘Obamacare’ Gains Support, Public Opinion Now Split

Poll: ‘Obamacare’ Gains Support, Public Opinion Now Split

Americans are now evenly split over the Affordable Care Act, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

In the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, 47 percent say they support the measure signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010, while 47 percent are opposed. The health care overhaul has gained support since the ABC News/Washington Post survey in April, when 53 percent were opposed to “Obamacare” and only 39 percent supported the law.

There’s a comparable split when it comes to opinon of the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act: 42 percent approve of the court’s ruling, compared with 44 percent who disapprove.

Excellent bounce, but would still like to see the breakout.
