A CNN poll shows that support for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has fallen to a new low, with just 35 percent of respondents saying they approve of the law. Look a little deeper, and the poll suggests the public's views on Obamacare will turn around once the coverage starts to take effect next month.
First, 15 percent of respondents oppose the law because it doesn't go far enough. So that leaves 43 percent who think the law is too liberal. But even among that group, there's reason to think some of their opposition is based on not quite understanding how the law will work or who it will affect.
