Not entirely certain.
At this point, this liberal is, to put it mildly, deeply disappointed in our current Republican president.
Yeah, I went there.

"be the party that fucks up the least".
bullshit, the candidates that spend the most win 90% of the time.
Citizens United will insure that UCA/capitalist secret campaign money will disenfranchise Human-Americans even more.

As to the op, for modern presidents only Jimmy Carter has had a lower approval rating at this point in their presidency. Reagan was only slightly higher than Obama at this point but he had an improving economy on his side. It's only going to get worse for Obama.

"the healthcare debacle that led to Dems being swept out of office"
it wasn't a debacle, but it was severely crippled by the Repugs and UCA.
Hey, Stupid, what caused the Repug House win was "The Economy, Stupid", and the Repugs have done nothing about job and everything to make the bad economy worse and last longer.
The Hillary health care debacle was caused by the health care industry and lying ads like "Harry and Louise". Barry had to buy off those same players which greatly lessened the benefits to Human-Americans. But Barry's healthcare reform is more popular as people learn more about it, rather then listening to Repug lies. The Repugs are refusing to fund the exchanges which are already hyper complicated by the for-scam health insurers.

Damn sure isn't treating our country very good. Now we have a real

I'm doing fine, actually -- better every year. I guess you are waiting for government to save you. Typical.
You're the one that brought it up with the implicit claim Hillary would do things differently.
If you want to be a pussy about it and try to change the subject when asked a direct question about your claim, I can't say I'm surprised.

55% favored repeal when it was passed. 54% favor repeal now. (cue "Rasmussen works for the repugs").
RCP average - 48% opposed it when passed, 50.6 oppose it now.

So 52% approved it when it passed, and 49.4 still do...
I honestly don't think we'll see the real impact until 2014, and thus the actual way people feel about it when it touches their pockets. That is, if it survives that long.

I don't understand your spin. Crazy boutons said it was more popular now, that simply isn't true no matter how you spin the numbers.

I'd enjoy the show but Hillary is the only one that could do it and she's not going to.

Well, you said '55% favored repeal when it was passed. 54% favor repeal now.'
Those numbers certainly support boutons contention.
But as you said, you can probably find every kind of numbers out there. I personally don't think they're really relevant as the full impact of the legislation doesn't really hit until 2014.

Considering your meme of calling GOP candidates RINO, I would argue they already are.
