Rasmussen: Support for Obamacare repeal almost 2-to-1.

I almost wish I hadn’t written this: it would have been perfect for this Rasmussen poll on Obamacare.

Support for repeal of the new national health care plan has jumped to its highest level ever. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of U.S. voters now favor repeal of the plan passed by congressional Democrats and signed into law by President Obama in March.

Prior to today, weekly polling had shown support for repeal ranging from 54% to 58%.

Last year Sean Trende over at Real Clear Politics argued that the Democratic party took precisely the wrong lesson from 1994 by assuming that it was better to pass something titled ‘health care reform’ than to be visibly seen to fail; polls like this suggest that he’s right.

Roll on, November.

    As frightening as it is to say and think about, let’s enjoy the left just continuing to do precisely what they’ve been doing. The outrage grows by the minute. Come November ? I pray we make it ? it will all be answered loudly and clearly.

    That is absent any contrived crisis to “delay” elections.

    anger voters more than what has already happened would be “delays” in the elections. Any “delays” in the elections are like to have most unfortunate consequences.

    other polls and special elections and primaries – conservatives and the GOP can clean-up in a historic way this fall.

    …but you know, they both start with an R. You know, R as in RINO.

    When the GOP takes back the House, they can defund Obamacare. Work hard to get Republican reps elected to take that gavel away from Pelosi.

    Many companies roll out the following year’s health insurance information in the October time frame with open enrollment in late October or early November.

    Perfect timing for the election, huh?

    More unintended consequences, that is if it really is unintended.
