Seventy-five percent of people who voted for President Obama said healthcare was their top issue, compared with 24 percent of those who voted for Republican candidate Mitt Romney. The two candidates were tied among voters who said the PPACA was a major factor in their vote, which suggests the healthcare law’s controversy worked both ways in the election.
Forty-eight percent of those polled said President Obama’s second term will be good for Medicare while 29 percent said his presidency is detrimental to the program. Also, 43 percent of people polled believe the president’s re-election is good for the PPACA while 30 percent think it is bad for the policy.
