Americans Expect Obamacare Fixes, Not Repeal

An Associated Press-GfK survey finds that only 26% of Americans support the Affordable Care Act. But only 13% expect it be repealed. Fifty-nine percent of those who said they or someone in their household tried signing up for coverage said there were problems. Seventy percent of Americans believe the law will be implemented with changes. Forty-two percent think those changes will be minor, and 30% say they think major changes are in store. Combining the 42% who see minor changes coming and 12% who say they think the law will be implemented as passed, a narrow majority of 54% see tweaks in store, or no changes at all. Soon after the law passed in April of 2010, 50% of Americans were opposed to it while 39% were in favor. Ten percent were on the fence. Now, just 26% are in favor, a drop of 13%. Forty-three percent say they are opposed, a 7% drop compared to four years ago. But the number who neither support nor oppose the law has tripled to 30%.
