Washington post poll: Obamacare hits record unpopularity

[Revmitchell]

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that a record 54% of Americans oppose Obamacare–the highest disapproval rating ever in the Post-ABC poll–and a six point increase in unpopularity since last year.

Support for President Barack Obama’s unpopular signature legislative achievement registered at just 39%, which “ties the record low” as seen in April 2012.

You failed to note the poll was August 1, 2014.

How about more recent data?

I may have missed it, but I see nothing in your link stating when the poll was taken. I did find the 54% in an old poll.

Your quote does not tell the whole story. From an article linked to your article:

The disconnect in the new poll -- that a majority opposes the law, while a nearly equal majority does not want the Supreme Court to rule against it -- is driven by political independents as well as Republicans. Independents oppose the law 56 percent to 35 percent. But they also want a ruling in favor of subsidies by almost exactly the same margin. Likewise, although only 19 percent of Republicans support the law, 34 percent say the court should not block subsidies to low- and moderate-income people.

Among independents, the seemingly incongruent stances are explained by opponents of the law who nonetheless favor subsidies. Among this group, 49 percent want the court to block subsidies, while 45 percent say it should not.

Yes, and there is nothing in it about ObamaCare.

Salty, I noted that also. However, none of those polls are current. I have searched but have not found a poll taken within the last 6 months. There may be one or more, but I have not found it.

And what reason is there to believe that the fiasco has gotten more popular? It will only get worse under Hillary because she would never tell the truth about anything.

That is one of the glitchiest websites around and I think any Obamacare poll now is essentially meaningless but I did find it:

The Post-ABC poll was conducted May 28-31 among a random national sample of 1,001 adults, including landline and cellphone-only respondents. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 percentage points.
