Is there a poll or something to do with the Ameican people

And their feelings regarding the Affordable Care Act? I ask this question because i keep seeing right wingers on various shows saying the American people do not want Obama care. and i have not seen anyone challenge this statement.
I feel the American people have accepted it as fact and are just waiting and hoping it will be as good as the democrats say. In other words they are in a wait and see mode.
What say you?

CNBC found that when participants were asked about "Obamacare," more claimed they a) knew what the law was and b) did not support the legislation. In total, 29 percent of those polled were in favor of Obamacare, 46 percent were against, and 12 percent were unaware of what that was. On the flip side, when asked about the "Affordable Care Act," 22 percent supported the initiative, 37 percent were opposed to it, and 30 percent were unaware of what that was.

After you rattle off things like parents keeping kids on their plans until 26, no more denying insurance to people who had the bad luck to get sick, no more caps on coverage if you get really sick, they'll start to stammer and splutter and turn beet red and call you nasty names.

They're against it because they've been told they're against it. You can fuck with their heads when you show them they're really for it.

However, since they mostly have the intellectual capacity of mildewed socks, they'll still claim to be against it tomorrow.
