A new poll shows that most voters want the Supreme Court to overturn Obama's health care law

Overall, voters oppose the law by 48%-40%, according to the Quinnipiac University survey. Democrats support the Obama health care effort by 70%-19%, while Republicans oppose it by 86%-8%. The Quinnipiac survey found independent voters opposed to the law by 45%-38%. In addition, only 44% of registered voters approve of Obama's performance, while half of the country disapproves of his performance, according to the survey. His job-approval rating is only at 42% among independents. White voters continue to view Obama negatively - just 37 % back the job he has done as president, the poll found, including only 34% of blue-collar whites. The numbers are better among whites with a college degree - 42% support Obama - but that's still a notable drop-off from the support he received in 2008. Then, 47% of whites with a college degree voted for Obama, according to exit polling.
