    Really?

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/obama_and_democrats_health_care_plan-1130.html

    Which poll is to be believed? CBS? Gallup? Pew? Or do we go by the average?

    But you're right, at 45.7% in favor, RCP's average, it is at its highest since the ACA was first passed. But how much of that is resignation or acceptance of something one doesn't want, but has given up hope in doing anything about it?

    I got a charge out of one report where people were asked if they like Obamacare. Of those who hate Obamacare, many indicated that they like the Affordable Care Act. :roll:

    Yes. Remember, the polls still show Hillary Clinton to be ahead... :omfg:

    Well, the ACA is so much better than Obamacare. That's for sure. President Gore told us so! :roll:

    Who did NBC News project to win FL, WI, MI and PA?

    Hillary Clinton Extends Her Battleground Map Lead

    http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/hillary-clinton-extends-her-battleground-map-lead-n666301

    Tossup: AZ, GA, FL, IA, ME (1EV), NE (1 EV), NV, OH, UT (94) Trump took these 90-4

    Lean Dem: CO, ME (3 EVs), MI, MN, NH, NM, NC, PA, VA, WI (105) Trump took 46 of these.

    Lean GOP: AK, IN, KS, MO, MT, ND, SC, SD, TX (85) Hillary took none of these.

    I'd say this poll leans A LITTLE LEFT of actual elections!

    I think it has more to do with the fact that people are realizing that Trump and the GOP will do absolutely nothing to fix the broken healthcare system, and thus many are seeing Obamacare as the lessor of the two evils.

    But, the ball is in the GOP's court now. If they screw up badly, they'll be facing the same loses in the mid-terms that the Democrats faced.

    I remember that video. Any one want to bet that the majority of those dolts voted for Trump?

    Oscamacare is only slightly more popular than AIDS. I suggest they try polling those who now have crappy insurance through their employer as well as those who buy through the exchanges and don't qualify for the scam subsidies. :roflol:

    That is a strange poll.

    First, my doctor got the royal shaft
    I have been using plan D since Bush was president
    Never had them reject prescribed drugs until Obama became president. After Obamacare in fact.

    She didn't. She won the popular vote at 52% to Trump's 39. Trump was because the Electoral College, which Trump himself attacked as corrupt, voted him in. If this country were a true democracy, Trump wouldn't be President. Thank god for corrupt political systems created simply because the founding fathers believed the people were too stupid to elect the President directly.

    Yes, the popular vote is what should matter. The electoral college was created solely because the founders believed that the normal people were not smart enough to elect the president directly. They basically designed it so that if need by they could override the people's vote by simply rigging the electoral college.

    It would take 3/4 of the states to change the system so why in the world are you wasting time on this? Besides, I like the EC. I was just mocking the Dem cries for the purity of popular vote which they didn't even follow in your state.

    If Trump had won the popular vote but lost the electoral college you would be calling the EC corrupt and calling for it's abolishment. I do not mind the EC, what I do mind is that state legislatures, at any given time, can pass a law to give themselves the authority to simply appoint delegates and rig the EC vote.

    But I do agree that the dems are dumb for using a delegate system in the primaries. If Sanders had been the candidate, Trump couldn't have won.

    Don't even pretend to know how I would feel if Trump won popular vote and lost EC. I said I supported the EC in my post. And you shouldn't assert things you can't prove such as saying Sanders would have won.

    I think Trump will just clone it and reshape it a little bit,
    just a hunch,
    We will see.

    Yeah, just like a lot of republicans support them supreme court whenever they make a ruling they agree with but call them tyrants when they disagree with a ruling.
