Independents Oppose Obamacare 2-1

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.
