Interesting numbers from latest CNN poll on the ACA [View all]

I formatted the results to show actual opposition versus those who don't believe the law goes far enough.



http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2013/images/11/27/rel13i.pdf

The majority in almost every demographic group (except white, Republican and conservative) "favor" the law or believe it's "not liberal enough."

Interestingly, Independents oppose the law 2 to 1 (65 to 34), but when asked why, 49 percent "favor" or believe the law is "not liberal enough," including 15 percent in the latter group.

Young people split 48 favor/48 oppose, but asked why 60 percent "favor" or believe the law is "not liberal enough," including 12 percent in the latter group.

Most people, including 70 percent of young people, reject the Republican spin that the law will fail.
