On the other side, 44 percent describe ObamaCare positively, either as “wonderful” or “progress.” It was 43 percent two months ago.
Most Democrats continue to describe the health care law positively: 12 percent “wonderful” and 62 percent “progress,” while most Republicans continue to call it “a step backward” (20 percent) or “disastrous” (66 percent).
Meanwhile, 60 percent of voters say the way the law is being carried out is “a joke.” That’s up just a touch from the 57 percent who felt that way in August. Likewise, 31 percent say things are “going fine” -- unchanged from this summer.
