CNBC Poll Echoes Fox Poll: More People Oppose Obamacare Than Affordable Care Act

Posted by | September 27, 2013 13:57 | Filed under: Politics


In the Fox News poll, 8% more people liked the Affordable Care Act than liked Obamacare. In  new CNBC poll, there was a 7%  difference. The problem could be that in the Fox poll, like the CNBC poll, a number or respondents didn’t know what the Affordable Care Act is.

First thing: 30 percent of the public don’t know what ACA is, vs. only 12 percent when we asked about Obamacare. More on that later.

Now for the difference: 29 percent of the public supports Obamacare compared with 22 percent who support ACA. Forty-six percent oppose Obamacare and 37 percent oppose ACA. So putting Obama in the name raises the positives and the negatives. Gender and partisanship are responsible for the differences. Men, independents and Republicans are more negative on Obamacare than ACA. Young people, Democrats, nonwhites and women are more positive on Obamacare.
