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).
