...Americans called it a bad idea by a 47-37 percent margin – a shift from 43-38 percent earlier this month. But among women, a group President Barack Obama won by 11 points in 2012, just 38 percent think it’s a good idea, while 45 percent do not. That’s down from early October, when most women said the law was a good idea by a 41-39 percent margin.
Among white women, results are even worse. Three weeks ago, they thought it was a bad idea by a 46-36 percent margin. Now a majority say so, at 52-32 percent....
A remarkable 83 percent said they have seen or read at least some of the news coverage about problems people have reported with the site.... Nearly six-in-10 said they have seen or read a lot about it.
That raises the stakes for the outcome of the law and Obama’s legacy, given the law is the president’s signature legislative achievement.
That means the president, whose approval rating hit an all-time low in this poll of 42 percent, missed a big opportunity to prove the law can work.
“The true damage of the rollout is this was supposed to be a period where the law would gain acceptance, and it has not,” Hart said.
