New Poll: One-Third Of Americans Unable To Sign Up Through Obamacare Website

Obamacare continues to be profoundly unpopular with the American people, and its approval ratings continue to plummet. Just 28% of Americans support the law, a new Associated Press poll finds, compared with 43% in opposition

But another part of the AP poll revealed something that speaks to the way that the law disrupted the health insurance market and failed Americans over and over again:
