DEMAND FOR REPEAL GROWS – AT 10:02 A.M. ET:  Rasmussen reports that support for outright repeal of Obamacare is growing:

Rasmussen Reports has released new numbers today showing increased support for the full repeal of Obamacare. The new weekly polling results show that 58% of likely voters now support repeal of the government takeover of health care. A full 50% strongly support the repeal.

The telephone survey of likely voters nationwide finds 38% still oppose repeal, including 32% who strongly oppose it...

...Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans and 54% of voters not affiliated with either major party favor repeal. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Democrats are opposed.

COMMENT:  The polling reflects a pattern we see in other policy areas as well.  The only voters strongly supporting Obama today are Democrats.  He's lost the independents, and he never had the Republicans. 

This bodes well for the GOP in November, unless the party messes things up, which it has a unique ability to do.
