Poll: Most approve of last week's Supreme Court decisions

Americans support the Court’s decision in King v. Burwell that those who purchased health insurance on the federal exchange could still receive federal subsidies, despite the wording in one section of the law that restricted those subsidies to insurance purchased on “State” exchanges.   But just about four in ten continue to judge Obamacare as a failure, and only 28% call it a success.   And while in the last year the percentage wanting to keep or expand the law has been generally larger than the percentage wanting to repeal it, there will continue to be attempts to overturn or de-fund the law.

Four in ten overall, and three-quarters of Republicans would support those efforts to de-fund the program.  Nearly half think that the intense battles to eliminate the law have been worth it, even though the ACA so far has survived two appeals to the Supreme Court.
