If there was any doubt how dysfunctionally partisan the United States has become, the Pew Research Center reports how views of the Affordable Care Act and Supreme Court have changed following last week’s hearings:
Roughly a third (35%) of Republicans say they have a less favorable opinion of the 2010 health care law after the hearings, compared with just 13% of Democrats. The pattern is reversed when it comes to the Supreme Court itself, with 32% of Democrats saying they now view the Court less favorably, compared with just 14% of Republicans.
