A new Rasmussen Reports shows that 55% of those polled favor repeal of Health Care Bill.

Just before the House of Representatives passed the health care legislation, 41% of voters nationwide favored the legislation while 54% were opposed. Since the bill has been signed into law by President Obama, most voters want to see it repealed.

Rasmussen Reports conducted a national telephone survey the first two nights after the bill was signed into law. That survey shows that 55% favor repealing the legislation, while 42% oppose repeal. Those figures include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal and 35% who Strongly Oppose it.

While some aspects of the new health care law are popular, most voters oppose the measures required to cover the nearly one trillion dollars in additional spending called for over the next decade. Fifty-six percent oppose the reductions in Medicare spending, a figure that includes 70% of those over 65.
