Support for ObamaCare hit new low

Rasmussen is out with a new poll showing that support for ObamaCare is at an all-time low and a plurality of voters now believe the plan will not pass Congress:

Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan.
[...]
For the first time ever, a slight plurality of voters now express doubt that the legislation will become law this year. Forty-six percent (46%) say passage is likely while 47% say it is not. Those figures include 18% who say passage is Very Likely and 15% who say it is Not at All Likely. Sixty percent (60%) are less certain.

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Democrats say the plan is at least somewhat likely to become law. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans disagree. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 34% say passage is at least somewhat likely while 58% say it is not.

In August I was convinced this bill wouldn't pass. I'm a little less sure now because I don't underestimate possibility that one or two Republicans will wind up supporting ObamaCare.

No one really knows what will happen at this point.
