Someone needs to pass this on to the GOP elites.
A new poll released by Heritage Action shows most Americans support defunding Obamacare.

The poll also reveals that Republicans should be much more concerned with the fallout of failing to defund Obamacare than with the imaginary fallout of doing so.
Heritage Action reported:

With citizens across America asking their congressman to support defunding Obamacare, Heritage Action CEO Michael A. Needham alongside leading pollster Jon Lerner today released a poll showing the idea of defunding Obamacare is broadly supported. Moreover, the potential of a partial government shutdown does little to dampen the desire to stop the implementation of Obamacare.

Independents in the survey strongly support defunding Obamacare by a margin of 57 percent to 34 percent. Further, only 20 percent of voters in these districts support going forward with Obamacare unchanged.

Heritage Action for America released the following statement from CEO Michael A. Needham:

This poll demonstrates that the Left cannot win the argument on either the policy front or the political front. Americans – including 57 percent of independents in ten critical congressional districts – favor defunding Obamacare. House Republicans should be much more concerned with the fallout of failing to defund Obamacare than with the imaginary fallout of doing so.

Similarly, Heritage Action pollster Jon Lerner concluded:

There is no present evidence that a move to de-fund Obamacare, and the potential of a partial government shutdown, would harm Republican prospects of holding the House majority. In fact, the very same voters who are critical to keeping the majority – Independents in potentially competitive districts – hold highly negative views on Obamacare and strongly favor a slow down in implementation or outright repeal of the law.

Wait until this thing gets fully implemented and the low-info voters figure out how much they've been screwed. Boy then there's going to be fallout!

The cited poll is an outlier.

Consider the source.

Political BS

Well that is the problem--Government is so big it is thought that all things revolve around it

Government does not want to shut down--because well it is government then they would have nothing to do or control

You are acting like government is a big pacifier when it is taken away all hell breaks loose

Gov shuts down every weekend and the world goes on

And if the gop thinks doing something most people want is disasterous--well then they are the idiots i think they are

But, why do conservatives want Republicans to run off this cliff?

The government shutdown ploy simply cannot work.

Therefore, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by it.

There is only downside.

Sure there is, Frank.

It signals to everyone (except the right-wing fringe kooks) that, if given sufficient numbers in the House and Senate and control of trhe WH, the GOP will kill Obamacare.

That's big upside!

Of course Frank after all we are only 1/2 of 1/3 of 4/16 of 9/32 of the government and because we in the gop leadership do not know how government really works we are waiting for super majority to really screw up
