Overall, Americans disapprove of Obamacare 53 - 36 percent. Notably, independent voters disapprove 58 - 30 percent. From Peter Brown, Assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute

As President Barack Obama's numbers on health care have declined so has his margin over Republicans on whom American voters trust most on the issue... In July he enjoyed a 20-point edge on the trust question, and that margin has been narrowing, to 45 - 40 percent today.

Americans also claim, 3-1, that the federal government should never pay for abortions.
