Public opinion has tipped against the health-care overhaul passed last year, the Kaiser Family Foundation’s monthly tracking poll finds . Some 51% of respondents in a major monthly poll now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the legislation passed by Democrats in March 2010, and just 34% of them feel favorably about it, according to a KFF telephone survey of 1,223 people carried out earlier this month. The results are striking because previous polls carried out by the foundation since the legislation was passed found respondents roughly split in their opinions, though the gap had begun to widen in recent months. In September, 41% of respondents had a favorable view of the law, compared with 46% who said they felt unfavorably about it. Every Republican president

has pledged to repeal the overhaul, and their campaigns are likely to get very excited about these numbers. (The WSJ points out today, however, that repeal may be tougher than it sounds .) For the first time, pollsters asked how people felt about the state-level health-care overhaul passed in Massachusetts while GOP candidate Mitt Romney was governor there. Romney has taken a lot of heat from his rivals over the law, who are trying to use it to tie him to President Barack Obama and his national health overhaul. But about 70% of voters surveyed said that they didn’t know enough about what happened in Massachusetts to have an opinion.
