ObamaCare is more popular than the GOP tax law, according to a new Fox News poll.
The 2010 health-care law registered a 51 percent approval rating, compared with 40 percent for the 2017 Republican tax cuts, according to the survey released on Thursday.
The poll, which surveyed 1,009 registered voters, also found that only 36 percent of respondents approve of the way President Trump is handling health care, with 55 percent disapproving.
Congressional Republicans tried and failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act last year, but they continue to criticize it.
Democrats say the Trump administration has been working to undermine the law through new regulations, and Trump has taken credit for "essentially" repealing ObamaCare.
The less-popular tax measure was signed into law by Trump in December. Republican leaders in Washington have been praising the law's tax cuts for small businesses and individuals, though the issue has not gotten as much attention on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections in November.
never thought I'd see the day that image of Obama looking smug would make me do anything but roll my eyes

well the tax law was bullshit and everyone with half a brain knows it. trump said "believe me" rich folks like him were not going to like it… then it turns out the rich were actually getting one of the biggest tax cuts ever and took over 80% of it, plus got some extra concessions like upping the amount of non-taxable inheritances into the millions. people are stupid, so yeah, some people still think trump's tax cut was the shit because they can buy an extra case of beer a month, but MOST people are smarter than that. now that the deficit is soaring thanks to record spending along with those record (rich elite) tax cuts, when SHTF, it'll just be the regular folks who will get taxed and clawed back, plus more, to make up for it in the near future.

(((poll))) GOY DON'T YOU SEE OUR POLLS SAY HILLARY WILL WIN!!!
ObungholeKare is garbage, as is all socialism. The tax cut was a great thing - we had the highest corporate tax rate in the western world and it was incentiziving companies moving offshore, costing jobs. The Demonrats and their MSM lapdogs pushed it as tax cuts for "the rich," when the point was to save good jobs. The only reason for the results is that the MSM constantly spews lies about Trump, attacking his policies and praising the left-wing garbage the Demonrats favor.
Colton Edwards
they never moved the factories and the resources offshore. nationalism is when people in your country are working, are rich, and have a safety net in case of a collapse. you're a globalist.
Ryan Gray
And yet, despite this being a slam-dunk for a historically unpopular Congress, they will do nothing to make Medicare for All, because their donors don't want it.
oh you mean like how the trump's get all their clothing lines made "not in the USA?" oh you mean how like the corporations did NOT have any "trickle down" effect where their largest tax cut resulted in no benefits to workers, only gave the executives bigger bonuses?
Gabriel White
Cringe.
Nicholas Gutierrez
Fake. You mad tho.
Elijah Barnes
you know just because trump calls news he doesn't like "fake" doesn't mean you have to suck his dick and do it too. I don't blame you though, the trump's don't really advertise the fact that they get all their clothing lines made in bangladesh, china, etc.
Dylan Sullivan
and if trump didn't tweet it, it didn't happen.

Political Identification: 49% Democrats 39% Republicans 12% indepdant
Carter Hill
This. It's a bullshit pol
Lincoln Kelly
where in that poll is there any "political identification" with over 1000, that's a statistically significant number and well randomized. Actually, considering it's a FOX "news" poll, they probably purposely tried to target republicans for the poll, and still lost.
Who the fuck are they polling to get 51% approval rating? Because everyone I know, small business owners fucking hate Obongocare.
Luis Flores
Question 48, people voting along party lines.
Adam Anderson
lrn2statistics
it doesn't tell you exactly how each person voted. some dems may think trump was doing healthcare right, some republicans not so your theory of voting along party lines cannot be verified. in fact, I can tell you for sure that it's not true.
Josiah Cox
oh really? here's question 48, "faeggot"
only 34% say "not at all" the others are various levels of "yes"
also, 59% approve of the mueller investigation. Despite trump's constant attacks, most people understand mueller's job, his history of integrity and think he's doing right. trump is a moron for even trying to attack him in any way. the two of them, professionally, and as people with honour and integrity, don't even compare by a longshot. trump is dog turd compared to mueller.
Parker Peterson
Look right under it, it is in bold letters you fucking mush brain.
Jace Butler
Fucking nigger.
Jose Bell
anyway, the poll is true. obamacare did way more good than the tax cut, which was all about trump giving himself, his family, kushner and other rich friends even wealthier. god forbid americans should have health care instead of making rich people richer.
Cooper Jones
Well, there's alot of human trash in the country, so that doesn't surprise me. White people certainly don't agree with you, Zig Forums retards.
Colton Richardson
Please kill yourself, you braindead, indoctrinated commie retard. You reason like a fucking women, you effeminate trash. Obamacare has been more harmful than it has helped. It's not fair that the productive white male should have to pay for the healthcare of niggers and spics. It's unjust, and should be removed. And the tax cuts was for all demographics that pays taxes, and they've massively improved the economy.
Caleb Allen
We have healthcare in America. You shouldn't force people to pay for yours, though. Now go back to reddit.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Fuck off back to r/politics, cancer.
David Jones
test
Charles Gutierrez
Asking for restraint can never be as popular as giving out shit. That's why we have the southern strategy and what Trump does.
Chase Howard
indeed. dems bribe the stupid for votes. the republicans didn't stand a chance unless someone came up with new tactics. Trump finally delivered a victory, because he's not a toothless white knighting bitch with "binders full of women."
Kevin Flores
now this is the reason women and unemployed men should not have right to vote
Benjamin Barnes
Anyone that supports this shit is a worthless nigger. Gov sponsored Hcare has been proven to lower quality and increase costs to it victims.
just because you keep saying something doesn't make it true. aca has helped millions who otherwise could not be helped. white males are not paying for it. your taxes don't pay for anything but paying off the interest on the debt. and the tax cut has not "massively" improved anything. The entire idea of "trickle down" economics has been disproven over decades of evidence. It never worked under Reagan and isn't doing shit now.
Anthony Anderson
wrong again trumptard. It's the US healthcare system that was costing more per person than any other healthcare in the world, while at the same time providing less care. why should someone in the US work and pay taxes all their life and not be able to afford a hospital visit? US had more instances of people not receiving health care, refusing health care, ambulance service, putting up with a heart attack, etc. than any other country because people are so afraid of the cost. that's third-world tier shit healthcare if you live in the land of the free, home of the brave, suffer some catastrophic injury or illness but choose to forgo a hospital visit because of what it may cost.
Mason Powell
Poll smoker.
Juan James
No it isn't, but if you repeat words you don't understand it may impress some people who don't know any better.
Lucas James
How? In person? Over the phone? On the website? It makes a huge difference. Also, 1000 people isn't a significant sample size. 10,000 is significant.
Michael Perez
1000 is significant and can be used to extrapolate to high degree of accuracy. it's sort of the go-to number for statistics. if you have 1000 you're set. now is it randomized? given it's a fox news poll, i'd say no. you could have too many fox viewers hitting it, or too many fox-haters hitting it to try to fuck it up, if it's a poll they put up on their website. In fact, you shouldn't trust any polls like that. if fox actually used random calling though, then it's sufficiently randomized
