More Americans say they like Obamacare than dislike it, according to a new Kaiser Health Tracking Poll released Tuesday which finds the law gaining in popularity.
The survey finds that 43 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the health care law, while 42 percent have an unfavorable view. It is the first time since a very brief period in 2012 that the law had more backers than detractors.
As the chart shows, Obamacare has consistently struggled in the polls and found more opponents than supporters for the vast majority of the five years since it was enacted. But it has been picking up support gradually since last fall.
The one percent differential in the new poll is within the margin or error.

Yawnnnnnn
People are slowly cluing in that the Obamacare that actually exists is much different, and much better, than the version of Obamacare that only exists on Fox News.
Give it another year and a half by election day. By then Repubs will refuse to call it Obamacare and call it “the ACA”. If not 2016 election, by the 2018 midterms for sure. They have already admitted they are going to give up on their laughable failure to repeal it 50+ times. Talk about slow learners!
The true sign of the end times will be when they start claiming credit for it - “Well, it was all based on our original idea!”
Bah! Just wait until the secret Death Panels complete their first round of secret deliberations and issue their first “humane euthanasia orders.” Yeah, sure, a lot of people will be relieved that their angry old uncle who sits around listening to Limbaugh and Fox all day and farting angry denunciations of These Kids Today, Those People and Obama, Obama, Obama has disappeared without any muss or fuss, but just wait until they come for your lovable old Meemaw.
