Poll 50% Don't Like The SCOTUS Ruling

[Listening]

Voters are reacting in broadly negative ways to the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the legislation known as Obamacare, a new Newsweek/Daily Beast poll finds, with a majority disapproving of the ruling, fearing health-care costs and taxes will rise, and preferring Mitt Romney to President Obama on the issue.

At the same time, voters scored the ruling a short-term political win for the president by a huge margin.

Overall, 50 percent of those polled said they disapprove of the court’s 5–4 decision, while 45 percent said they support it. Consistently, a majority of voters said that they oppose the individual mandate (53 percent); believe taxes will increase (52 percent); believe their personal health-care costs will increase (56 percent); and disapprove of Obama’s handling of health care in general (58 percent). Only 24 percent of those polled said that they believe the ruling will make the country better off.

New Poll: Voters Dislike Supreme Court

Not that it matters to me because justices don't vote to be popular....unless you listen to Charles Krautwhatever....who think Roberts only did this to preserve the integrity of the court (and if he did...boy did he blow that one).

However, it does have some thought provoking information with regards to how people might vote come November.

Romney needs to ram this up Obama/Axelrod/Jarrett's asses.

 

[Oddball]

If it got to 50% in a Newsweak poll, you gotta know that it's bad news.

 

[Darkwind]

I'm afraid that the only way this kind of information is useful now is in determining mood of the voters coming into the election.

100% of the country could disapprove of the ruling, and that will not stop it from being a law.

 

[Peach]

It is rather early after the decision to BE polling, the decision is not a one page note. the news reports are , many will not understand exactly how the Court ruled for weeks. even I have yet to read the entire decision.

Romney supports all of the benefits that ObamaCare provides - he just doesn't think anyone should have to pay for it.

Bet if anything shows up in the polls next week, it will be a slight uptick for the President.

Absolutely true.

And that is the point. Most of the pundits are now saying this election is about Obamacare. Essentially, it has been handed back to the legislature.

Now the fun begins.

Does Old Rocks mean "Old with Rocks in his head"...or is there another excuse for your delusional wishful thinking ?

 

[Old Rocks]

Certainly does. We get to listen to you 'Conservatives' tell us what a great thing it is to have 750,000 families a year go bankrupt because of medical bills. And the rate in other industrial nations is zero.

We get to listen to you 'Conservatives' state how much cheaper it is to have people visit the emergency room than have preventive care.

And, most of all, we get to listen to you 'Conservatives' chant "Let him die, let him die".

Hmmm....... And what was the position of most of the 'Conservatives' here prior to the decision being handed down? Seems I remember just an awful lot of early celebrating.

So, let us see what next week brings

We can't let people have access to preventative care, they'll overuse it! Best to wait until they're almost dead, then you know they aren't trying to game the system.

 

[tererun]

Wait, you mean appx the number of people who were going to vote for romney are also against the bill that he has been using as his main campaign tactic? And you think somehow this is bad news for obama as most of those people were against him and the bill before anyway? Chalk this up to more useless polling to find out things I could have told them before the poll.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

No more medical bankruptcies

No more people getting sick or dying

And it's all free

How the fuck was I ever against it?

They were simply listening to the analysis of everything that had taken place since the Solicitor General screwed up his oral arguments.

I, like so many, thought it was 99% sure to get dumped. I had a good reason...so did most everyone else watching the whole mess.

You, on other hand are just putting out a wishful wet dream. Or do you have some support for your delusion ?

Overuse it? Fool! It's free!

You can't overuse free stuff

Life expectancy should start to rise now, right?

 

[Listening]

Against Romney, Obama maintains a narrow lead in the presidential race, 47 percent to 44 percent. Twenty-one percent said that they were open to changing their mind. State-by-state polls are more useful in predicting the actual outcome of a presidential contest, but national horse-race numbers are something to talk about while the election is still months away. The president’s approval rating stands at 45 percent. Fifty-nine percent of poll respondents said they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction—down slightly from about a year ago, in May 2011, when 65 percent said the country was on the wrong track.
Even as those polled said that they prefer Romney to Obama on health care—as well as almost every other issue, with the exception of terrorism, foreign policy, and education—voters said that they trust Democrats more than Republicans overall on the major questions facing the nation, 37 percent to 32 percent.

Bigot asks if better access to preventative care will increase life expectancy?

Does Bigot really need me to answer that?

Indeed. Obama and the Democrats that voted in favor of the legislation that 'we'd have to wait until passed, to understand" will have to run in support of it.

How many have disapproved of it from the onset? Those numbers have grown.

By November 2012 ACA/Obamacare will have majority popular support. The writing is on the wall. After the oral arguments Republicans were gloating that it would be ruled unconstitutional and now they are claiming it will remain unpopular. Both statements are false. It's fun to watch.
