Health Law Has Never Been More Popular -- Just As GOP Is Poised To Dismantle It

The poll started asking about Obamacare in April 2009, and this month marks both the highest percentage of respondents who signaled their approval for the law and the first time that more people surveyed said they like it than dislike it.

Americans are starting to warm up to the Affordable Care Act amid concerns about Republicans鈥 efforts to dismantle it, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds. A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds that 45% of Americans think the 2012 health law is a 鈥済ood idea,鈥欌 the highest mark since pollsters began asking about President Barack Obama鈥檚 vision for a health overhaul in April, 2009. (Radnofsky, 1/17)

The NBC/WSJ poll found that 50 percent of respondents have 鈥渓ittle to no confidence that Republican proposals to replace the law will make things better.鈥 Congressional leaders had first advocated repealing the law immediately and leaving open a window before it would take effect so they can take more time to pass a replacement package. Trump and some others, though, have publicly pushed back on that plan. (Conway, 1/17)

About a quarter of U.S. Republicans do not want to see Obamacare repealed, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday. Trump and his fellow Republicans, who control Congress, have promised to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, but a majority of Americans, including 25 percent of Republicans polled, do not want it to be repealed. (1/17)
