The 2010 Affordable Care Act, which Trump and congressional Republicans were seeking to replace, continues to increase in popularity. Half of voters now approve of the law, compared to 43 percent who disapprove. Approval for the law has increased 4 percentage points from last week, and 9 points from early January.
While Trump and House Republicans say they are regrouping after last week’s fiasco, only 37 percent of voters want the GOP to continue with their efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare — fewer than the 51 percent who want the party to move on to other things. But among Republican voters, there’s more appetite to keep fighting: twice as many want the GOP to keep trying, 62 percent, than the 30 percent who want the party to move on.
The poll was conducted March 24-25 — entirely after Trump and House Republicans canceled at the last moment a vote on the American Health Care Act, which was designed to replace many of the Obamacare provisions. The poll surveyed 1,991 voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Your choices; pay big money for very little coverage, or nothing for zero coverage.
