MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Over half of the US population favors repealing President Barack Obama’s signature Affordable Care Act (ACA) healthcare program, commonly known as "Obamacare," a new poll revealed on Monday.
Those who responded favorably to keeping ACA in place numbered in the 48-49 percent margin, while 58 percent favored replacing Obamacare with a federally funded healthcare program against 37 percent who opposed the replacement.
The three scenarios reflect the general viewpoints of the three remaining US presidential candidates.
Gallup’s survey was conducted by telephone across a random nationwide sample of 1,549 adults on May 6-8 with a 3-percent margin of error.
Obamacare was dealt a severe blow last week when a federal judge ruled that the federal government does not have the authority to make cost-sharing reduction payments to insurance companies.
