A new poll has found that 53% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Obamacare.
The poll was done by the Kaiser Family Foundation and reveals that unfavorable opinions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) were more widespread in July than at any time since April 2010. The poll also discovered that only 37% of the public actually has a favorable opinion of the law.
A solid majority of Democrats still like Obamacare, according to the poll.
As has been typical for the entire history of the ACA, Democrats continued in July to have more favorable opinions than Republicans, with 62% approving. However, even among those who lean left, Obamacare lost support in July. Perhaps even more troubling for the White House, the data shows a general, if slight, trend among Democrats toward less favorable attitudes about the law.
The vast majority of Republicans still don't like Obamacare.
Among Republicans, 82% had an unfavorable opinion of the ACA in July. The last time that many Republicans had an unfavorable opinion of Obamacare was in November, the poll reveals. A mere 12% of Republicans had a favorable opinion of the law last month.
