Only 36 Percent of Dem Candidates Support Obamacare

Essentially, no one likes Obamacare

Democrats on the campaign trail are not feeling so hot about Obamacare.

New research from the Brookings Institution's Elaine C. Kamarck and Alexander R. Podkul shows that only 36 percent of Democrats running for Congress this year have expressed a position in support of Obamacare. Another small segment--25.5 percent--have offered a lukewarm position on the law.

The study comes from 1,662 candidates running in House and Senate primaries.

Republican candidates are overwhelmingly against Obamacare, with 74 percent of candidates expressing opposition.
