As the Supreme Court prepares its historic ruling on the Affordable Care Act — also known as “Obamacare” — a new CNN/ORC International poll released Friday shows that Americans are still opposed to the new health care law passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama in 2010.
According to the poll, 51 percent of Americans are opposed to the health care law, while 43 percent support the reform. Those results are consistent with the results of the CNN/ORC poll conducted in March. The Supreme Court could rule on the constitutionality of the health care law next week. Interestingly, the poll showed that only one-third of respondents object to the law because it is too liberal — a frequent charge from Republicans.
The TPM Poll Average captures the longstanding opposition to the Affordable Care Act.
