Support For Health Reform Up Among Youth

USA Today/Gallup released results of a poll this morning showing support for health care reform remains steady among Americans – 49 percent to 46 percent, an increase of 4 percent since April -- while support among young Americans (18-29 years old) has increased.

From the poll:

Say Congress passing Affordable Care Act was a Good Thing:

  • 57 percent of young adults age 18 to 29 – up 7 percent since April; 40 percent disagree
  • 51 percent of Americans age 50 to 64 – up 7 percent since April; 44 percent disagree
  • 49 percent of Americans age 30 to 49; 43 percent disagree.

The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein concludes that "it does seem we're looking at a trend…it does show support rising and opposition falling."

And the Republicans want to repeal this? Bad move.
