Almost 2/3 Want ObamaCare Repeal

Rasmussen has been conducting a weekly poll to track how the public feels about the new health care law. The average has been hovering around 55% favoring repeal. This week, however, Rasmussen found that fully 61% of Americans favor repealing ObamaCare.

Sixty-one percent (61%) of Likely U.S. Voters now at least somewhat favor repeal of the new national health care law, including 50% who Strongly Favor it. That’s up eight points from a week ago and the highest level of opposition measured since late May.

Only 33% say the health care plan will be good for the country, the lowest level measured since late July. Fifty-six percent (56%) disagree and believe the new law will be bad for the United States.

And once again, the divide between the "political class" and regular Americans is highlighted in these results.

On both questions, there is a large divide between mainstream voters and the Political Class. While 74% of Mainstream voters favor repeal, 74% of the Political Class are opposed. Likewise, most Mainstream voters (71%) feel the health care law will hurt the country, but 68% of the Political Class believe the law will be beneficial.

In other words, support for repeal is only that low because a super-majority of politicians, lobbyists, and so forth are happy with ObamaCare. If you factor them out, support for repeal approaches the 75% level.

Almost THREE-QUARTERS of American voters, not counting the political class, favor repealing ObamaCare.

That's an eye-opening figure...
