Even in Romney states, more want to keep Obamacare than repeal it

The new Washington Post/ABC News poll finds that even in the states carried by Mitt Romney, there is slightly more support for keeping Obamacare than repealing it.

No, this doesn’t mean the health law is a winner for Dems or that approval of it is rising. But it does suggest reasons for optimism about the law’s long-term prospects.

The poll’s topline shows that a total of 57 percent of voters support Obamacare (43 percent) or don’t support it but want to let it go ahead and see how it works (just under 15 percent). Meanwhile, only 39 percent want to repeal the law. That’s 57-39 for keeping versus repealing the law.

It turns out there isn’t even a substantial difference on this question when you compare voters in blue and red states — even though, broadly speaking, more of the latter are getting bombarded by anti-Obamacare ads and messaging.

1. Try this on for size.

These Willard voting states are experiencing some real money issues. Wages have remained flat or decreased. The Rethug hard liners are peddling so much anti ACA to mask what's really going on. Their Health and Human Service departments are a big joke. No revenue no programs. Hospitals are hurting big time because of the big ER costs. They love the new ACA programs but can't get more deserving folks onboard. This continuing whaling on the Brown people is having a real negative affect on these states wanting to expand.. If you continue to beat people into the ground,that will bit you in the ass.
