Forty percent of Americans surveyed from July 18 to 20 said they generally favor the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, while 59 percent oppose it, according to a CNN/ORC International poll.
That's about on par with a similar poll conducted in early March (during the first open enrollment period for the PPACA exchanges), which found 39 percent of Americans favored the healthcare reform law and 57 percent opposed it.
Of those who said they oppose the PPACA in this month's poll, 38 percent said they're against it because it's too liberal, while 17 percent oppose the law because they don't think it's liberal enough. In the March survey, 39 percent opposed the law for being too liberal, and 12 percent opposed it for not being liberal enough.
The survey results are based on phone interviews with 1,012 adult Americans, including 899 registered voters, according to CNN.
