Obamacare more popular than ever before, poll finds, even as GOP plans to repeal it

A new poll suggests President Barack Obama’s besieged health care plan is more popular than it’s ever been, even as congressional Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump prepare to dismantle it. The poll finds 45 percent of respondents think that the Affordable Care Act is a good idea, the highest percentage since the NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll began asking the question in April 2009.
