Poll shows Americans favor improving or fixing ACA, not repealing it

The Kaiser Family Foundation's recent poll release showed a decrease in favorability of the ACA law, however, there is far more support for fixing rather than repealing it.

(note: the poll's questions have changed slightly over the past year)

Support for keeping the law, repairing the law, improving the law, etc.)/Repeal or replace the law/Don't know-No Opinion:
July 60/35
May 59/34
April 58/35
March 59/29
February 56/31
January 55/38/6
October 47/37/16

That overall costs will go down (I didnt believe this, I thought the health insurers would gouge existing group health policies but maybe not) and there is now no preexisting penalty and so on....

Now in any poll about 20% of the country will oppose anything and everything attached to Obama based SOLELY on his skin color and funny sounding name, which is 99% of the teaparty and more than half of the republican party, but yes the stats would be even better if fox and other rightwing propaganda sites didnt lie about it all day long.
