Harvard poll: 57% of Millennials disapprove of Obamacare


Harvard's Institute of Politics (IOP) December 4, 2013

Cambridge, MA - A new national poll of America's 18- to 29- year-olds by Harvard's Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, finds a solid majority of Millennials disapprove of the comprehensive health reform package that the president signed into law in 2010, regardless of whether the law is referred to as the "Affordable Care Act" (56%: disapprove) or as "Obamacare" (57%: disapprove). Less than three-in-ten uninsured Millennials say they will definitely or probably enroll in insurance through an exchange if and when they are eligible.

Among those indicating in our poll that they would recall the president if they could include:

    A majority (52%) of voters under the age 25, compared to 40 percent between 25 and 29;
    19 percent of those who voted for him in 2012;
    19 percent of Democrats, 82 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of Independent voters; and
    58 percent of young Whites, 35 percent of Hispanics and 21 percent of Blacks.
