Approval is now at 54 percent.

Public support for ObamaCare has reached the highest level since the healthcare laws creation in 2010, according to a new poll.
Fifty-four percent of U.S. adults approve of the Affordable Care Act in the Pew Research Center survey released Thursday, while 43 percent disapprove and 3 percent have no opinion.
The results found ObamaCare achieving majority approval for the first time amid a concerted GOP effort to repeal and replace the massive healthcare law.
Twenty-five percent of those who disapprove of ObamaCare say Republicans should focus on modifying it, while 24 percent say they should scrap the law entirely.

Seems to me these folks also approve. The ACA truly has overwhelming support if the polls were not skewed to raise the disapproval numbers.

Even Obama himself said he'd support mods to improve ACA.
