Poll Finds Diminished Support For Healthcare Reform Law
Leave a comment »
Politico (8/31, Haberkorn) reported that a Kaiser Health Tracking Poll of 1,203 adults conducted August 16-22 (+ / -3%) found “that public support for healthcare reform dropped sharply in August,” down seven percentage points “to 43 percent — while opposition rose 10 points to 45 percent.” Politico characterized the results as “a dagger in Democrats’ hopes that their landmark legislation will help them in November’s midterm.” Some of the law’s insurance industry reforms will go into effect next month, and “while many of these provisions have proved popular in polls, the popularity of the overhaul on the whole hasn’t improved.”
