Despite some loud calls for a repeal of the health care reform bill, more people would rather take a wait-and-see approach to health care compared to the number who would repeal the measure and start over.

“That’s a 13-point margin for ‘give it a chance,’ which is not the argument conservatives want to go to the electorate with,” Weigel says.
However, on the generic ballot in the poll, that is an unnamed Democrat against an unnamed Republican, Democrats and Republicans are tied at 44 percent each.
