President Obama declared an end to the debate about Obamacare, even as Republicans gear up to retake the Senate on a platform built around repealing the law.
“The repeal debate is and should be over,” Obama told reporters Thursday. “The Affordable Care Act is working and I know the American people don’t want us spending the next two years fighting the settled political battles of the last five years.”
A recent Quinnipiac survey cuts against Obama’s claim. “American voters oppose the Affordable Care Act 55 percent to 41 percent and 40 percent are less likely to vote for a candidate who supports Obamacare, while 27 percent are more likely and 31 percent say this will not affect their vote,”the pollster found on April 2. The same survey showed Obama’s personal job approval numbers underwater, at 42 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval.
