Wow. You managed to actually produce one poll... and from Rasmussen, no less.
You see, the reason I took just about every poll I could find in a google search is because I didn't want to get called on for using one poll because those are notorious for being able to support a one-sided claim. Since I copy-pasted links to ten seporate polls, I can mark an overall trend that's much harder to argue against.
You found one recent poll. Some of mine are as recent as a mere few months ago, during the fevered pitch of the last congressional election, in which the congresspeople have yet to take office.
Unless you have something more substantive, like maybe four more polls concluding the same trend from seporate sources, I might find the claim to have credibility.
At best, you have proven that a slim majority of Americans don't approve of the healthcare law... for now. Not that it really changes anything.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
