The unpopularity of ObamaCare socialized medicine showed up again in a recent survey of our neighbors to the south in Georgia.
Mason-Dixon Polling & Research asked 625 likely voters this question: “Do you support or oppose repealing the health care reform plan approved by Congress and signed into law by President Obama?”
The results? Fifty-six percent said ObamaCare should be repealed. Only 32 percent – not even one-third – were against repeal. The remaining 12 percent were undecided.
Support for repeal had high support among various groups. Repeal was backed by 59 percent of men and 53 percent of women. Not surprisingly, 79 percent of Republicans supported repeal. But more than a third of Democrats also want ObamaCare repealed, as do 56 percent of independents.
Georgia is a generally conservative state, so those results might not be particularly surprising. But they are not unlike other polls around the nation that show strong opposition to ObamaCare. Recent nationwide surveys by CBS News and Rasmussen Reports found 11 percent to 13 percent more opposition to ObamaCare than support. Those figures include both liberal and conservative states.
Voters should express that opposition in upcoming primary elections and in general elections for Congress in November.
