Forty-three percent of Americans believe the Affordable Care Act needs
to be repealed, and opposition to the new healthcare law has driven
President Barack Obama's job approval rating to an all-time low, a new
poll has found.
According to a CBS News Poll conducted Nov. 15-18, approval
of the law has dropped to 31 percent, the lowest number ever recorded
by the poll, a decline of 12 points since last month. Sixty-one percent
of respondents disapprove of Obamacare, including 46 percent who say
they disapprove strongly.
The survey of 1,010 adults also found that Republicans are nearly
unanimous in their disapproval of the president's signature healthcare
law, and two-thirds of independents agree. Democrats continue to back
the law, but their support has dropped by 16 points since last month,
from 74 percent in October to 58 percent today.
Just 7 percent of Americans think the Affordable Care Act is working well and should be kept in place as it is.
The problems plaguing the launch of Obamacare are taking a toll on the
president's job approval rating. Just 37 percent now approve of the job
Obama is doing, according to the poll, and disapproval is at an
all-time high of 57 percent. (
