Obamacare: Obama Health Care Reform Hits All Time Approval Low – 41 Per Cent

The latest Rasmussen reports poll record low approvals for President Obama’s health care reform efforts.

Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan.

Senior citizens are less supportive of the plan than younger voters. In the latest survey, just 33% of seniors favor the plan while 59% are opposed. The intensity gap among seniors is significant. Only 16% of the over-65 crowd Strongly Favors the legislation while 46% are Strongly Opposed.

For the first time ever, a slight plurality of voters now express doubt that the legislation will become law this year. Forty-six percent (46%) say passage is likely while 47% say it is not. Those figures include 18% who say passage is Very Likely and 15% who say it is Not at All Likely. Sixty percent (60%) are less certain.

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Democrats say the plan is at least somewhat likely to become law. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans disagree. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 34% say passage is at least somewhat likely while 58% say it is not.

Noteworthy is the majority of Senior Citizens who are NOT supportive of Obamacare.

Why?

Senior citizens vote in large numbers, especially in off-year elections – like 2010.

If the Blue Dog Democrats in the House can read these poll numbers they will be running away from Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Flap estimates the chances of Obamacare as envisioned with the public option to be less than 40 per cent. But, you never know what arms the left-wing of the Democrat Party can twist.
