Journalists and pundits across the media landscape proclaimed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold most of the Affordable Care Act as a victory for President Barack Obama.
ABC News called it a “big win” for the Obama administration.
But ABC pointed out that most Americans don’t have a favorable view of the Obamacare legislation as was upheld by the High Court. (Americans also don’t have a favorable view of the status quo either, according to the poll).
Everything in political news going forward will likely focus on the question of which party benefits the most politically from the Supreme Court decision. Will Romney win in November now or does Obama have an even greater chance of retaining the presidency?
Within a few hours of the Supreme Court ruling, Congressional Republicans and the GOP’s presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, proclaimed they would seek to repeal Obamacare, according to Fox News.
This morning, Yahoo News Columnist Chris Moody pointed out that the GOP would have to have majorities in both houses of Congress and would have to hold the presidency.
So for today’s poll, we ask: Which party will be helped most by the Supreme Court’s Obamacare decision? Take our poll and share your thoughts in the comments.
