DescriptionMost voters continue to favor repeal of the national health care bill, but nearly half see repeal as unlikely. A plurality believes repeal would be good for the economy.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 58% of voters favor repeal, including 48% who Strongly Favor it. Thirty-seven percent (37%) are opposed to repeal, with 28% who are Strongly Opposed.

Support for repeal is up two points from a week ago but is consistent with findings recorded over the past several month. Weekly tracking surveys have found support for repeal has ranged from 52% to 63%.

Forty-four percent (44%) believe repeal of the health care bill would be good for the economy. Twenty-eight percent (28%) say repeal would hurt the economy. These views have not changed since earlier this month.

But just 39% think it even somewhat likely that the new law will actually be repealed. Forty-eight percent (48%) of voters see repeal as unlikely. Those figures include nine percent (9%) who say repeal is Very Likely and 10% say it’s Not At All Likely.
