Thread: NBC/WSJ poll: Public divided on health law and repeal Shorten URL

Mark Murray writes: With House Republicans today set to vote on -- and pass -- their legislation to repeal President Obama's signature health-care law, a brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that the American public is divided on the law and the repeal effort.

Thirty-nine percent believe the health plan that Obama signed into law last year is a good idea, versus another 39 percent who think it's a bad idea.

But those saying it's a good idea is at its highest level since September 2009, and those saying it's a bad idea is at its lowest level since June 2009.

The poll also finds that 46 percent of respondents are opposed to repeal (with 34 percent strongly opposed), while 45 percent support the repeal effort (with 35 percent strongly in favor).

The full NBC/WSJ poll, which will be released beginning at 6:30 pm ET, was conducted Jan. 13-17 of 1,000 adults (200 reached by cell phone), and it has a margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points.

I hope it gets repealed.

However, it would be great if we could stop focusing on this and worry about it after we build up the Economy and fix the job situation !

Other thoughts ?

You knew this would not happen, maybe in 2012 if the Senate gets it's votes.

We need something, but I think the problem is health care cost more than anything else. This includes the fraud that is rampant in the system thats cost Billions of dollars.
