U.S. Democratic president candidate Hillary Clinton continues to make President Barack Obama's controversial healthcare overhaul part of her campaign, but a recent poll show a slim majority of Americans don't like it.
During an interview earlier this week with a Miami radio station, Clinton defended Obama's healthcare overhaul, saying that if elected she would stand by the controversial system and fix problems with the law.
But despite Clinton's support for the law, a slim majority of Americans do not support it. Forty-four percent surveyed in Gallup's most recent update approve of Obamacare, compared with 51 percent who disapprove, according to a Gallup report released Friday.
The public's approval of the healthcare law has consistently been below the majority level in recent years, ranging from a high of 48 percent shortly after Obama won reelection in 2012 to a low of 37 percent approval in late 2014.
Forty-five percent of Americans now say that Obamacare hurts the healthcare situation and 37 percent say it helps it, with the rest 12 percent saying it has no effect, Gallup's report noted.
The report came out just days after the announcement that Obamacare premiums would increase by 25 percent next year, despite myriad promises by the Obama administration that the health care revamp would bring low-cost healthcare to everyone.
Republican candidate Donald Trump earlier this week said Obamacare was "blowing up," and vowed to repeal and replace it, echoing the sentiments of a number of other Republicans.
