While
Americans largely disapprove of how President Barack Obama is handling health
care, according to a new
HuffPost/YouGov poll, they have even more negative opinions of how
Republicans in Congress are handling the issue.
According to the new poll,
Americans disapprove of Obama's handling of health care by a 56 percent to 39
percent margin. The survey also finds that 47 percent want to see the
Affordable Care Act, Obama's signature health care law, repealed, while 25
percent want to see it expanded and 15 percent think it should be kept the
same.
But few view Republicans in
Congress as saviors -- by a 63 percent to 27 percent margin, most disapprove of
their handling of the issue. Congressional Democrats fared slightly better,
though a majority still viewed them negatively, with 34 percent approving and
53 percent disapproving of their handling of health care.
And if forced to choose, more
Americans trust Obama to handle health care than Republicans in Congress, 42
percent to 33 percent. Twenty-five percent said they weren't sure.
