Support for PPACA Repeal Hits All-Time Low, Poll Numbers Show

A poll conducted after election day found 33 percent support for a repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — the lowest number that figure has hit since President Barack Obama penned his signature on the law in March 2010, according to a report from The Hill.

Seventy-five percent of people who voted for President Obama said healthcare was their top issue, compared with 24 percent of those who voted for Republican candidate Mitt Romney. The two candidates were tied among voters who said the PPACA was a major factor in their vote, which suggests the healthcare law's controversy worked both ways in the election.

Forty-eight percent of those polled said President Obama's second term will be good for Medicare while 29 percent said his presidency is detrimental to the program. Also, 43 percent of people polled believe the president's re-election is good for the PPACA while 30 percent think it is bad for the policy.
