Quinnipiac: Most Americans Want Obamacare Repealed

A new poll by Quinnipiac University finds that most Americans, including independent voters, believe that the U.S. Supreme Court should strike down Obamacare.

The poll, released late Thursday, found that 50 percent of voters and 51 percent of independent voters want the high court to overturn President Obama’s controversial healthcare reform law. In contrast, only 39 percent of voters and 37 percent of independent voters do not want the high court to take action.

The poll found that most voters — 66 percent — believe the economy is in a recession while a slight majority — 54 percent — believe it has begun to recover.

"Voters have begun to change their minds about the economy. They are humming, not yet singing, 'Happy Days Are Here Again,' but there seems to be a sense that things are getting a bit better. But President Barack Obama is not singing along as there is little uptick in his job approval numbers and the share of voters who think he deserves a second term in the Oval Office," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, which conducted the national poll.
