Is ‘Obamacare’ on the Rebound?

The AP notes that President Obama is embracing ‘Obamacare’ on the campaign trail. And recent polls suggest why. Health Reform is more popular than it’s been in two years. And it’s been steadily getting more popular over the course of the summer.

Trend chart after the jump.

The polls for support of ‘repeal’ of ‘Obamacare’ also shows a similar trend.

It should also be noted that Rasmussen is almost the only pollster to consistently test this question. So the data (unlike the question on reform itself) is dominated by his numbers — see full data set here. Nonetheless the same trend is evident.
