Modest Gain in Public Support for Healthcare Reform, Still Not a Majority
An Associated Press poll in May found 45 percent of Americans supported the healthcare reform law and 42 percent opposed it, up from 39 percent supporting and 46 percent opposing the law in an AP poll in late March.
Opposition to the new law actually hit 50 percent just after President Obama signed it.
Improvements in support of the law from March to May were shown by men (from 36 percent to 46 percent), people ages 30-49 in the prime working years (from 35 percent to 49 percent) and Republicans (from 8 percent to 17 percent).
