Of 2,538 Americans surveyed form May 21 to 25, 51 percent disapprove of the PPACA, a percentage that has remained relatively steady since before the first open enrollment period ended March 31, according to Gallup. Furthermore, only 37 percent of those polled think the PPACA will ultimately make the healthcare situation better in the U.S., and 44 percent think it will make things worse.
Additionally, the poll found attitudes toward the healthcare reform law remain significantly split along party lines, with 79 percent of Democrats expressing approval of the PPACA, compared with just 8 percent of Republicans.
Gallup’s findings echo the results of an Associated Press-Gfk online poll released earlier this week, which also found public approval of the PPACA has remained low in the wake of the first open enrollment period for the exchanges.
