(CNSNews.com) – Poll results released this week by CBS News, Fox News, and NBC News/Wall Street Journal show that strong majorities of Americans disapprove of Obamacare, would repeal it if given the chance, and think the law itself is a “total bad idea.”
In the CBS News poll, 54% of Americans disapprove of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) while only 36% approve of it. CBS also found that 38% of Americans said Obamacare will personally “hurt me,” while only 13% said the health care law would “help me.”
In the Fox News poll, 53% of Americans said they would vote to repeal Obamacare if given the chance. In addition, 47% said the law would cost them money while only 11% said it would save them money in the coming year.
For the NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey, people were asked, “From what you have heard about Brack Obama’s health care plan that was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President in 2010, do you think his plan is a good idea or a bad idea?”
47% responded that the president’s health care plan was a “total bad idea” while only 34% said it was a “total good idea.” At the same time, 45% said Republicans in Congress should do everything they can to prevent the law from going into effect but 51% said Republicans should stop trying to block the law.
For the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 1,000 adults were interviewed by telephone July 17-21, and the poll had a margin of error of +/- 3.10%.
