Opposition to ObamaCare is clear and overwhelming in our state. The latest evidence comes from the Democratic polling firm of Public Policy Polling.
It seems likely that the difficulties with the rollout of Obamacare are helping to make life more difficult for Hagan. It’s always been unpopular in North Carolina and currently 38% of voters say they approve of it to 48% who disapprove, numbers pretty consistent with what we’ve found over the years. But what’s really hurting Democrats is its being back in the news- 69% of voters say its rollout has been unsuccessful so far to only 25% who deem it a success. 49% say the rollout has been ‘very unsuccessful.’ Republicans (87%) and independents (75%) are pretty unanimous in their sentiment that the Obamacare launch hasn’t gone well but even among Democrats only 41% give it positive ratings to 52% who think it’s been problematic.
