12% Say Most Opponents of Obama Health Care Plan Are Racist

Rasmussen Reports
Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Twelve percent (12%) of voters nationwide believe that most opponents of President Obama’s health care reform plan are racist. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 67% of voters disagree, and 21% are not sure.

In recent days, several Democrats have suggested that racism is a factor. The most prominent to make that accusation is former President Jimmy Carter.

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans reject the notion that most of the opponents are racist. So do 78% of voters not affiliated with either major party. However, just 39% of Democrats share that view. Twenty-two percent (22%) of those in the president’s party say that most of the opposition to his plan comes from racists, and another 39% are not sure.

The president’s health care proposal has encountered stronger opposition than anticipated by the White House. For most of the summer, a majority of the nation’s voters opposed the plan. Following the president’s nationally televised speech last week, support for the plan increased temporarily. However, support is now back to pre-speech levels.
