New data released Wednesday by Gallup shows that a plurality of Americans, 47 percent, think the new health care law should be repealed, versus 42 who think it should be kept. The Supreme Court recently announced it would hear a challenge to the law’s constitutionality next year.

From Gallup:

Views on this issue are highly partisan, with Republicans strongly in favor of repeal and the large majority of Democrats wanting the law kept in place…At the same time, half of Americans say the federal government should be responsible for making sure all Americans have health insurance, underscoring the divided nature of public opinion on this issue. About one in four American adults at this point have government-provided health insurance, making it clear that the issue going forward is the degree to which government should be involved in healthcare in the years ahead, rather than whether the government should get out of the healthcare business altogether.
