Gallup Poll says most think Obamacare will make things worse for everybdy By: Mark Tapscott Editorial Page Editor 03/19/10 6:48 AM EDT A new Gallup Poll survey finds a growing sense that things will get worse for most people in America if Obamacare becomes law. Among the results of the survey, which was taken March 17 in interviews with 1,000 adults, were these: * Two thirds of Americans believe the Democrats health spending bill would make things worse (37) or make no difference (29) for themselves and their families. * A majority of Americans believe the bill will make things worse (44) or maintain the status quo (13) for the United States, while only 39 percent see any benefit for the country. * Only a third see a benefit for middle-income families, while most believe those families’ situation will get worse (44) or see no benefit (17). * Most Americans see no benefit for doctors and hospitals while a plurality believe the bill will make things worse for both. * Despite all the tough talk about tacking insurance companies, only 51 percent believe the bill will make things worse for insurance companies. * Most Americans believe the bill will help (34) or maintain current status (18) for pharmaceutical companies. "The findings that more Americans believe the new legislation will make things worse rather than better for the U.S. as a whole, as well as for them personally, are consistent with previous Gallup polls showing a slight negative tilt when Americans are asked if they support the new plan," Gallup's Frank Newport said. The survey has a 95% confidence level that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points. You can read the entire survey results here.
