A new poll from Reuters is showing support for the ACA is growing, and Democrats are coming back to the fold and showing more support.
Nearly one-third of respondents in the online survey released on Tuesday said they prefer Democrats' plan, policy or approach to healthcare, compared to just 18 percent for Republicans. This marks both an uptick in support for Democrats and a slide for Republicans since a similar poll in February.

"In the last couple of weeks, as the exchanges hit their goals, news coverage has been more positive and the support of the Democratic Party on this issue has rebounded," said Ipsos pollster Chris Jackson.
"It's not that independents are moving their way, it's that Democrats who had previously been a little bit ambivalent in their support are coming back to the party," he said.

"Democrats have not managed to have a huge lead over Republicans so much as Republicans have managed to damage their own position and stay behind Democrats," Jackson said.
Wow, what a shocker. If the media actually covers what is happening, instead of repeating right wing talking points, and going over and over and over about how bad the website was 5 months ago, people actually start learning about the benefits they just received.
This falls elections are going to be all about turnout, so it's really nice to see Democrats accepting that we might have to wait awhile before we actually get to single payer.
A non vote this fall is the same as a Republican vote.
