Health Care Law: 57% Favor Health Care Repeal, 54% Say Repeal Likely
September 05, 2011

Most voters still want to repeal the national health care law and are more confident than ever that the law actually will be repealed.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 57% of Likely U.S. Voters – for the second week in a row – at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care law passed by Congress in March of last year. Thirty-six percent (36%) at least somewhat oppose repeal. These findings include 43% who Strongly Favor repeal versus 26% who are Strongly Opposed. (To see survey question wording, click here.) 

A majority of voters have favored repeal every week but one since March 2010, with support for repeal running as high as 63%.

Fifty-four percent (54%) of voters now think repeal is at least somewhat likely, up eight points from last month and the highest level of confidence found since the law’s passage. Twenty-nine percent (29%) rate repeal as not very or not at all likely. Those figures include But 18% who think repeal is Very Likely and 5% who say it’s Not at All Likely.

Confidence in repeal since the Republican takeover of the House last November has generally remained in the mid- to high 40s. Prior to this survey, the highest level of confidence was 53%, reached in early July. House Republicans have voted to repeal the health care law, but that effort has run aground in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on September 2-3, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Fifty percent (50%) of voters believe the health care law will be bad for the country. Thirty-five percent (35%) disagree and think it will be good for the country. Three percent (3%) say it will have no impact, and 12% are not sure.

This is consistent with voters’ views for months. A majority or plurality have rated the law bad for the country since its passage.

Forty-three percent (43%) now see repeal as good for the economy, while 30% think it would be a bad move economically. Thirteen percent (13%) feel repeal would have no economic impact, while just as many (14%) are not sure.

Anywhere from 39% to 50% of voters have said repeal will be good for the economy in weekly surveys since April of last year.

Only 27%, however, believe that repeal of the health care law would create new jobs. Forty-one percent (41%) say repeal would not be a job creator. One-in-three voters (32%) are undecided. These views have changed very little over the past year-and-a-half.

Most Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party continue to favor repeal, while the majority of Democrats remain opposed.

GOP voters are much more confident that the others, however, that the law actually will be repealed. Republicans are also much more likely to view repeal as good for the economy and as a job creator.

Ninety-two percent (92%) of Tea Party voters favor repeal of the health care law, compared to 47% of those who are not members of the grass roots movement.

Eighty-nine percent (89%) of the Political Class oppose repeal, while 66% of Mainstream voters think it’s a good idea. 

Sixty-five percent (65%) of all voters say the issue of health care is Very Important when it comes to how they will vote in the next congressional election. But that finding is down from 79% in early November 2010 and 72% in early April of that year, the first survey conducted after President Obama signed the health care bill into law.

Mornac, the public is in a bad mood fueled by a bad economy and the Republican propaganda efforts to put people in a bad mood for their own political purposes. This strategy is not going to work out well for you.

i second that.  and i've said this before;  health care reform is not going to get appealed.  if anything it might actually slant more toward singer-payer.

i have no problem with practical changes as this was only a first salvo to begin with;  but to think it's going to be repealed?  no way.

Actually President Obama's approval ratings have held despite the rotten economy and Republican propaganda. President Obama's ratings are down only slightly or not all, if you consider the margins of error, and he remains ahead of other presidents at the same stage in their two term presidencies.

In the meantime Republicans are at an incredible low.

[Mornac]

i second that.

--Hold your horses. We don't know what he said yet.

and i've said this before;  health care reform is not going to get appealed.

--Well it won't be wuth that attitude dagon. Let's try to be a bit more optimistic , eh?

if anything it might actually slant more toward singer-payer.

--You're nothing but Mr. Gloom and Doom today.

i have no problem with practical changes as this was only a first salvo to begin with;  but to think it's going to be repealed?  no way.

--You think that liberals are that obstinate about thwarting the will of the American citizens? I'm not sure, but you probably know them better than I do.

Simply retrace your circular path, review what you have left behind, and you will find what you seek.

"We?"

--I'm one of the most skeptical people I know and even I don't see this guy coming back for a second term at this point. Is there anything you want to go on record with here Coit?

[Mornac]

"We?"

 

--Yes. Everyone who saw you say something about a "strategy" without explaining what you were talking about.

[Coit]

It's a funny thing Mornac, but I still don't see too many people here buying into your cult. Wait, wait. I actually see no one having ever bought into your cult.

So how do you come to refer to "we?"
