Over two-thirds of Americans want the Supreme Court to overturn part or all of the 2010 health care reform law, a new poll from the New York Times/CBS News shows. Only 24 percent say the hope the Court upholds the entire law. Of those surveyed, 41 percent said the court should strike down the entire law; 27 percent said only the individual mandate should be struck down. These numbers vary only slightly with where opinion was a few months ago, before the Supreme Court heard the case.
Along partisan lines, Republicans were more united in their opposition to the law than Democrats were for it, with two-thirds of Republicans hoping the entire law is struck down but only 43 percent of Democrats hoping the Court upholds the law. More than 70 percent of independents said they want some or all of the law struck down versus just 22 percent who want the whole law upheld.
