Rasmussen: 50% of voters say states should be empowered to opt out of Obamacare

As Congress nears what could be its final vote on the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats, 50% of voters nationwide say states should have the right to opt out of the entire plan. That's up three points from the end of last year.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 36% of voters disagree, down four points from the previous survey, and another 13% are undecided.

Not surprisingly, 74% of Republicans believe that states should have the right to opt out, while 56% of Democrats disagree. However, 30% of white Democrats believe that states should have the right to opt out of the plan. Thirty-three percent (33%) of white Democrats are opposed to the plan being considered by Congress.

Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 48% say the states should have the right to opt out, and 36% disagree.
