Poll: Voters Dislike ObamaCare Ruling

Voters disapprove of the Supreme Court's euling on ObamaCare 50%-45%. Respondents believe politics played a role in the decision, and their belief is only going to be solidified between now and November as the Obama administration works to downplay the "tax" label in favor of "penalty." not only is that a silly game of semantics, penalty is not exactly a more pleasant concept than tax.

No matter. ObamaCare has been declared a tax. The term tax is going to stick in voters minds no matter what alternative progressive offer up. While I still question the legal interpretation of the mandate as a tax, as far as the political aspect of the ruling goes, ObamaCare opponents have it about the best they could short of complete repeal.

Of course, if a large chunk of voters hate the ruling because it was politically motivated, then they probably also hate how the ruling has set up the 2012 election as a referendum on ObamaCare. The sword cuts both ways. let the struggle begin anew regardless!
