Katherine Restrepo, John Locke Foundation health and human services policy analyst, analyzes Time Warner Cable poll results dealing with the Affordable Care Act. The poll showed 56 percent of registered voters judged the law unsuccessful, while 42 percent called it at least somewhat successful. Among those with strong opinions, those who labeled the law “not successful at all” outnumbered those who called it “very successful” by a 39-13 margin.

Restrepo offered these comments during the April 3, 2014, edition of Time Warner Cable News’ “Capital Tonight.”
