A Kaiser Health Tracking Poll conducted in March found that 41% of respondents had a favorable view of the Affordable Care Act—up from 1% in January—and 43% had an unfavorable view. The numbers are a marked increase from July 2014, when the same poll found 53% of respondents viewed the law unfavorably, and they come just ahead of the five-year anniversary of the law’s enactment this weekend. Kaiser has tracked opinion on the health care law regularly. Support largely fell along party lines, with 74% of Republicans expressing an unfavorable opinion and 65% of Democrats expressing a favorable view. While most people said the law had no direct impact on them, Republicans were far more likely to say it had hurt them than Democrats. In total, 30% of respondents said that Congress should repeal the law, including 11% of Democrats and 61% of Republicans, while 46% of respondents said the law should remain as is or be expanded, including 72% of Democrats and 16% of Republicans. Most respondents—53%—also said they were not aware of [the Supreme Court case underway](http://time.com/money/3726001/supreme-court-obamacare-challenge/) that threatens to roll back a key feature of the law. The poll of 1,503 adults, conducted March 6-12, has a margin of error of three percentage points. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3750639/obamacare-poll-anniversary/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3750639/obamacare-poll-anniversary/"},"headline":"Support for Obamacare Highest in Years, Poll Says","datePublished":"2015-03-19T13:27:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T05:17:04.930Z","description":"The country is almost evenly divided.","url":"https://time.com/3750639/obamacare-poll-anniversary/","keywords":["Health Care","Obamacare","Congress","Affordable Care Act","White House","President Barack Obama"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Noah Rayman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/noah-rayman/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/health-care/","name":"Health Care"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3750639/obamacare-poll-anniversary/","name":"Support for Obamacare Highest in Years, Poll Says"}}]}] ```
