The public does not ♥ Obamacare
Despite all efforts, Obama and the Democrats have not been able to make the public like Obamacare, a fact reflected in polls such as this one from Gallup.
This is the chart that must make them gnash their teeth:
It is remarkably flat over time, isn’t it?
And this chart can’t warm the cockles of their hearts either:
That’s pretty low support among blacks and Hispanics, considering their support for Obama and Democrats as a whole, and considering that Obamacare was designed to supposedly help low income people the most.
Designed specifically to make low income people shut up and do as they are told, yes. In the initial stages of kidnapping and rape, resistance is to be expected. And they do expect it.
“What we have here, is a failure to communicate.”
No, we fail to buy the BS they want us to pay taxes and other moneys for.
Can’t help but wonder what the numbers may have been had O care been implemented as written rather than as decreed?
Lest we forget: this in spite of the MSM(D) carrying the Obama machine’s water from coast to coast.
If, as Kaba asks, the messiah had not ruled by executive fiat that major parts would be delayed and not doled out exemptions to his cronies, there can be little doubt that approval would be in single digits for whites and perhaps in the teens for hispanics. That said, 13% disapproval by blacks is encouraging. Channeling Ben Carson, I say Obamacare is a gift from god.
Another way of looking at the Gallup data:
Blacks are 110% more convinced Obamacare will make things better than whites,
and
Hispanics are 33% more favorably inclined to it than whites.
Now how do you feel about the results?
It’s all in the spin- Neo thinks black/hispanic support is pretty low, all things considered; and with the % numbers I remain appalled.
Parker, that depends on whether you think angels bringing down death from the sky is also a gift from God.
13% disapproval of the messiah’s ‘signature legislative achievement’ by blacks is twice the percentage of blacks who voted for Romney. If a republican can get 10% of the black vote and 30% of the hispanic vote in 2016 we might find a majority too large to be challenged by fraud. The ‘progressives’, despite the MSM running cover, have overreached and may be alienating enough minorities and independents to sink the dems in 2014 and again in 2016.
“Parker, that depends on whether you think angels bringing down death from the sky is also a gift from God.”
No I don’t think that, but I do think the cracks in the messiah’s (and the ‘progressive’) agenda are widening. That is what Ben Carson meant by his comment. He was not stating that the woes veterans experience in the VHA is a good thing, he was remarking that it should be used to awaken others to the evils of the ‘progressive’ agenda. Wars are not won by a single battle but winning battles wins the war.
I have a son who turned 30 last August and he is at U of Oregon working on a PhD. I trust his analysis that there are more and more of his generation who are waking up to the damage done by ‘progressives’. I’m as ready as I can be for the next civil war, but I would like to live and die when its my time to die in a time of peace in America no matter what it takes to achieve that state.
If 100% of the people responded that things will get worse, you could safely predict that > 90% of democrats would still vote for a democrat who supports the law. The best conservatives can hope for is a temporary virus affecting only democrats which paralyses their central nervous systems, and keeps them from the polls on Election Day. And also makes them forget the whole thing happened so they don’t demand a national do-over.
Charts? Democrats don’t care about no stinking charts.
Parker, I can’t disagree with “hope for the best, prepare for the worst”.
That’s been several faction’s modus operandi so far.
Not good news when the media can make 30% look like a runaway majority on any issue. Factual polls are for honest people. Perception is king.
Actually considering what Obamacare has wrought, layoffs in the ten of thousands, reduced hours in the millions, canceled policies in the millions, increased premiums and reduced benefits in the tens of millions, reduced freedoms and the undermining of our constitution; this polls tells us:
1) Obamacare is far, far, far more popular than it should be,
2) blacks and Hispanics live in a different social-economic and political country than whites.
Repeat, this polls says that compared to how unpopular Obama should be, it is surprisingly popular. Saying it is unpopular is like saying Hitler is unpopular because 70% of the public disapproves of him. The more important observation to such a finding would be that 30% do approve.
“how unpopular Obama should be,”
should read
“how unpopular Obamacare should be,”
Life is hard when U R ADD.
