An Associated Press-GfK poll found among likely voters, Only 15 percent said they would leave the overhaul as it is, 37 percent said they want to repeal it completely and 36 percent said they want to revise the law so it does more to change the health care system.
Overall, Americans remain divided about the law itself. Among likely voters, 52 percent oppose it, for a range of reasons. 41 percent said they support it. Strong opponents outnumber strong supporters by 2-to-1. Health care remained among the top issues for Americans in the poll, ahead of concerns about terrorism. But Democrats are losing their edge when it comes to whom the public trusts as stewards of the health care system. Among likely voters, there was essentially no difference, with 46 percent saying they trust Obama and the Democrats, and 47 percent saying they trust Republicans.
