Hindsight Is 20-20

A Fox News poll finds that Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all agree that Obamacare would not have passed had we known in 2009 what we know now. The percentage saying "No" for each group follows:
     Democrats          54%
     Republicans       74%
     Independents     68%
After reviewing the 32 other questions asked, I conclude that the Obama administration has lost the support of Independents, and never had the support of Republicans. He largely retains the support of the 40% of the poll respondents who self-identify as Democrats.

As a signpost along the way to November's midterm elections, the findings look hopeful for Republicans.
