Nearly one-third of respondents in the online survey released on Tuesday said they prefer Democrats' plan, policy or approach to healthcare, compared to just 18 percent for Republicans. This marks both an uptick in support for Democrats and a slide for Republicans since a similar poll in February.

"In the last couple of weeks, as the exchanges hit their goals, news coverage has been more positive and the support of the Democratic Party on this issue has rebounded," said Ipsos pollster Chris Jackson.

"It's not that independents are moving their way, it's that Democrats who had previously been a little bit ambivalent in their support are coming back to the party," he said.

One-fifth of respondents said they did not know which party had a better plan, and another fifth said neither party did.

2. Since the Republican "plan" is "please die"

it's a no brainier that the Dems are favored. The ACA is far from perfect, but it's a start. Hoping that one day we will have affordable health care for everyone.
