Excerpt
Even so, the fervor of the opposition shows no sign of abating, posing a challenge for Obama's Democrats during congressional races this year, as a Republican victory in a special Florida election this week showed. In addition, 54 percent of Americans say they're unhappy with the president's handling of the issue, according to a Bloomberg National Poll.
That's an improvement since the last poll, in December, when Obama's public standing on health care hit a low of 60 percent disapproval after the botched rollout of the insurance exchanges, according to the March 7-10 poll of 1,001 adults.
