Support for repealing the Affordable Care Act dropped significantly among Republicans immediately after the November election, according to a new poll. The data also reveal that, although a large majority of Trump voters say they view President Obama's health care law negatively, they like many of its provisions.
According to the data, collected by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 69 percent of Republicans supported repealing President Obama's signature health care law in October; a month later, only about half supported a full repeal.
“This is a new thing, first time we've seen it,” said the foundation's president, Drew Altman. He cautioned against reading too much into a single data point and said his organization would ask the same question next month, to see if the pattern holds. “We had a great debate over whether to even report it, because all of a sudden there it was — and it was quite significant.”
