57% of those polled say ObamaCARE will hurt the economy

ObamaCare-health-insuranceWith Obama at -19 PAI, and tied for his lowest strong approval rating ever at 22%, more bad news arrives for the marxist today. According to the latest Rasmussen poll, Fifty-seven percent (57%) of voters say the health care reform plan now working its way through Congress will hurt the U.S. economy. That same poll also finds that only 1 in every 4 of those polled, or just 25% think ObamaCARE will help the economy. 7% say ObamaCARE will have no impact and 12% aren’t sure.

Two-out-of-three voters (66%) also believe the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats is likely to increase the federal deficit. That’s up six points from late November and comparable to findings just after the contentious August congressional recess. Ten percent (10%) say the plan is more likely to reduce the deficit and 14% say it will have no impact on the deficit.

Underlying this concern is a lack of trust in the government numbers. Eighty-one percent (81%) believe it is at least somewhat likely that the health care reform plan will cost more than official estimates. That number includes 66% who say it is very likely that the official projections understate the true cost of the plan.

Just 10% have confidence in the official estimates and say the actual costs are unlikely to be higher.
