Kaiser is out with a new tracking poll for October showing that 49 percent of likely voters have an unfavorable view of the national health care law, compared with just 39 percent who have a favorable view.
The poll comes as a big shock given Democrats repeated claims that ObamaCare would become much more popular once it was passed, and be an asset to them in elections.
As the Hill notes, as recently as last month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said of the law, “It is definitely an advantage for us, because we have aligned ourselves with those who passed Social Security, Medicare and now healthcare for all Americans, not as a right, but a privilege.”

Nasty Nancy and the Dems have aligned themselves with dead white men? Not a brilliant move in the land of the living, where earning a living is becoming more and more difficult thanks to those who call up the ghosts of past shortcomings to justify their present malfeasance.

Where's the shock? Its been unpopular since before it was passed and has never been popular before or since.
The only thing unusual about this poll is that opposition to the bill usually runs at about 60%, while this poll shows only 49% opposed.
