WASHINGTON. - A new poll conducted by CBS News and New York Times reveals that most Americans want the Supreme Court to overturn Obama's health care plan.
The poll, revealed Thursday evening, shows that 48 percent of Americans disapprove of the plan, while only 34 percent approve of it. According to the National, the numbers show a five percent drop in approval since April.
The polls also revealed that 41 percent of citizens want the bill to be abolished completely, while 24 percent want the bill to be upheld in its original entirety. 27 percent would approve the plan if the individual mandate clause was removed, as reported by the National.
Although the approval rating for Obama's health care plan has dropped within the past month, a poll conducted by Fox News shows that Americans trust Obama more than the republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in handling matters of heath care. According to the polls 43 percent of Americans think President Obama will do a good job with handling health care, while 40 percent trust Romney to handle the health care issue.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, is a federal statute regarding health care that has been a point of controversy ever since President Obama signed it in March of 2010. One of the fundamental points of discourse is the individual mandate clause that forces an individual to buy a health care plan or incur financial penalties.
The Supreme Court is expected to make a decision on the much talked about case sometime in June.
