Latinos Support for ObamaMESS has fallen below 50 Percent

Another day, another unwelcome poll for the White House. 

Pew reports that Hispanic support for Obamacare has lurched downwards from 60-plus percent in September 2013 to 47 percent. 

That matters a lot, because it possibly means there’s less chance that the GOP’s campaign against Obamacare will prompt the large Hispanic turnout that President Barack Obama needs in November to keep Sen. Harry Reid in charge of the Senate.

So far, Democrats have expected Latinos’ support for Obamacare will help them vote Democratic in November. 

But the poll showing tepid support for Obamacare might force Obama to spend more time and money pushing Obamacare up the priority list. 

Overall, Obama’s support among Hispanics fell from 75 percent in December 2012, to 52 percent in November, according to Gallup.

The new Pew poll shows that Hispanics are now split evenly on Obamacare, with 47 percent approval and 47 percent disapproval. 

“Over most of the past four years, Hispanics have offered more support than opposition for the health care law… support for the ACA among Hispanics fell sharply in October of 2013 (to 47%) and has yet to recover,” said the March 20 Pew report, “ACA at Age 4: More Disapproval than Approval.” 

That score puts Hispanics closer to whites, at 33 percent approval, than to blacks who remain solidly behind Obamacare at 77 percent approval.
