Poll: Only 12% of Americans support the Senate health care plan

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Just 12% of Americans support the Senate Republican health care plan, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds, amid a roiling debate over whether the GOP will deliver on its signature promise to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

In the survey, taken Saturday through Tuesday, a 53% majority say Congress should either leave the law known as Obamacare alone or work to fix its problems while keeping its framework intact.

But the dilemma for the GOP is this: Eight in 10 Republicans support repeal, and close to a third say the law should be repealed even if a replacement health care plan isn't ready yet. Just 11% of independents and 2% of Democrats feel that way.

The divide between the demands of the GOP base and the skepticism of the broader electorate helps explain why Senate Republican leaders have been forced to delay a vote as they scramble for the 50 votes needed to pass a measure

1. That tells me

12% shouldn't be allowed out in public, off leash, much less have any say. I wonder how far that 12% drops, when factoring in the pols who have been bribed to support repeal.

2. Most Americans are so stupid they didn't know Obamacare was the ACA 6 months ago.

No wonder we keep losing elections...that's only one reason however. Meanwhile healthcare effects 1/6 of the nation's economy and 22 million, 1/13 of the population, and the GOP is treating it like a game instead of a serious issue. So many elderly, children, women, etc are being thrown under the bus for political reasons! Utterly ridiculous...it is NOT about votes and should be NON partisan.
