A new CBS poll release Monday morning shows that a plurality of Americans disapprove of President Obama’s health care reform law, which goes before the Supreme Court this week. The survey shows 47 percent of Americans disapprove of the law and 36 approve of it, which is in line with historical levels of support when asked about the law in general. From CBSnews.com:

Opinions of the health care law break down largely along party lines. Most Republicans disapprove of it, including six in 10 who disapprove strongly, while most Democrats approve. Among independents, just under half are opposed to the law. A majority of Tea Party supporters also disapprove.

There are differences when the results are broken down by age, as well. Americans under age 30 are the most likely of any age group to approve of the law. Among those who are older, more disapprove of the law than approve of it.
