(Bloomberg Politics) — A new poll conducted by Hart Research Associates, on behalf of the Service Employees International Union, finds that voters strongly oppose the idea of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act subsidies being denied to states that didn't set up their own exchanges. Eight hundred respondents were contacted in the middle of February. By a 43-36 margin, voters told the pollsters that they had an "unfavorable" view of the law. By a 10-point margin, they preferred repealing PPACA to keeping it as is; a large majority supported at least tweaking it.
Yet by a 63-29 margin, they said they'd disapprove of a plaintiff victory in King v. Burwell if it meant people who bought health care from the federal exchange would lose their subsidies. By a 59-21 margin, they disapproved of Republicans in Congress who'd ruled out a legislative fix to restore the subsidies. Among the results:
