Well, while Barry may be none to happy with the Republican’s new budget, and be quite pleased with himself in referring to it as being a "stinkburger", it seems that, at least according to another new poll, more than half of the American people still oppose Barry’s own version of a ‘shit-sandwich’, Obamacare. And it was this same poll that also showed support for Barry’s disaster of a healthcare law is only slightly higher than his own job approval rating. And yet he’s been walking around patting himself on the back because, supposedly, 7 million folks signed up for his own ‘shit-sandwich’.
So it is then that according to a National Public Radio (NPR) poll, not a right leaning group by any stretch of the imagination, conducted March 19-23 of 840 likely voters, 51 percent oppose Obamacare, including 40 percent who strongly oppose it. This compares to 47 percent who support the new healthcare law, of which 28 percent say they strongly favor it. By comparison, Barry's job approval rating is 46 percent, while 51 percent disapprove. Of those who disapprove, 41 percent say they strongly disapprove, compared to 24 percent who strongly support the president.
The pollsters, a duo of which one is a Republican and one is a Democrat, have some rather differing views when it comes to what the data may actually suggest in terms of what impact these views on Obamacare might have regarding Democrats chances in the 2014 midterm elections. "The conventional wisdom that it's an unpopular program that hangs around the necks of Democrats is absolutely a misreading of the poll data," Democrat Stan Greenberg, one of the pollsters, said. Greenberg said that 7 percent of likely voters oppose the law because it doesn't go far enough.
Whit Ayres, the Republican pollster who worked on the survey, however, said the data suggests that Obamacare will still be a great issue for Republicans this fall. He said, "First, more people oppose than support Obamacare, as has been the case since it passed. Second, the intensity is on the side of opposition, and intensity drives voting behavior. Third, independents oppose Obamacare by 21 points in this survey and they hold the balance of power in this election." So what we have here are differing opinions, but as is always the case, opinions are lke assholes, everyone has one.
Personally speaking, I’m hoping that everyone who got screwed over, and continues to get screwed over, by this ‘shit-sandwich’ that is Obamacare, as I did, are as pissed off as I am about it, and stay pissed off until the next November. And every one of those sons-of-bitches who voted for this thing need to be gotten rid of. And another thing, how is it in any way fair for them to be able to escape what we are forced to contend with? Every one of them got a waiver so they don’t have to deal with it, while the rest of us get screwed. We need to send a message this November!
