55% Favor Repeal of Health Care Law
Most voters nationwide continue to favor repeal of the national health care law, but those who already have health insurance are less convinced the new law will force them to change their coverage.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 55% at least somewhat favor repeal of the national health care law, including 42% who Strongly Favor it. Thirty-nine percent (39%) at least somewhat oppose repeal of the law, including 29% who are Strongly Opposed. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
