Weekly Standard - By a margin of 32 points (63 to 31 percent), independents favor the repeal of Obamacare, according to the latest Rasmusen survey of likely voters. Independents who feel “strongly” (one way or the other) support the repeal of Obamacare by a margin of 31 points (52 to 21 percent). Likely voters as a whole favor repeal by a margin of 15 points (54 to 39 percent), while those who feel “strongly” (either way) support repeal by a margin of 17 points (43 to 26 percent).
Moreover, as Rasmussen writes, “Most voters…believe [the overhaul] will increase the federal deficit at the very time President Obama and Congress are trying to find ways to make significant cuts in government spending.” By a margin of better than 3 to 1 (52 to 17 percent), Americans think Obamacare — which would cost over $2 trillion in its real first decade (2014 to 2023), and far more in future decades — would “increase,” rather than “reduce,” deficits.
However, despite Americans’ overwhelming support for repeal and their clear belief that Obamacare would increase deficits, President Obama has refused to allow Obamacare even to be on the table during the debt ceiling negotiations.
Blog author's comments - We did well in 2010 electing conservatives that campaigned on repealing Obamacare. Unfortunately, we won't get much accomplished until we gain control of the Senate and strengthen our control of the House. That needs to happen in 2012.
To really get things rolling we need to gain the presidency, Only then can we realistically get Obamacare repealed and begin to undo the economic damage Obama has done. At this point in time I am not impressed with anyone in the group of GOP presidential hopefuls. If there are other people considering running for the presidential nomination, now is the time to get in the race. If anyone is waiting until 2016, that will be too late.
At a minimum we need to maintain control of the House and win the Senate. But, Obama also has to go. He is by far the worst president in history. The country cannot withstand another term with Obama at the helm.
