Neither the President nor his landmark domestic policy achievement received positive marks in the latest Quinnipiac survey of Pa voters. They disapprove Barack Obama’s job performance 51% to 44%, and disapprove the 2010 Affordable Care Act 53% to 37%.

The President’s numbers are in the same neighborhood as his lowest ever in Pa., which Quinnipiac recorded as 53% disapproval to 42% approval in April 2011.

Independents disapprove Obama by at 23 point margin, 58% to 35%, while men disapprove 57% to 39%. Women approve Obama’s job performance 49% to 46%. The President is also on positive ground among voters with a college degree (52% to 44%) and voters ages 18 to 34 (50% to 44%).

The Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, fared even worse. 53% of respondents said they disapproved the law, including 37% who said they did so strongly. 37% of them approved it, just 17% of them doing so strongly.

The pollster phrased the question thusly: “35. From what you’ve heard or read, do you approve or disapprove of the health care law that was enacted in 2010?”

While Republicans disapproved it strongly (83% to 10%) Democrats were more split (approving it 65% to 21%). Among other demographic categories including gender, age, income and education level, only those with a college degree gave the law favorable marks (49% to 45%).

By a wide margin, voters said they predict the law will either not help them personally (42%) or indeed hurt them (40%) versus those who believe the law will help them personally (13%).

Quinnipiac interviewed 1,116 registered voters from March 6 to 11 via land lines and cell phones. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.9%.
