PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Obamacare ? Almost a third of Americans believe President Trump has kept his promise of repealing Obamacare  according to a recent The Economist â YouGov poll.
Thirty-one percent of those surveyed said that Trump kept his campaign promise to repeal Obamacare  49 percent said he hasn't repealed  Obamacare   and 21 percent were unsure.
More Republicans  44 percent  believe Trump has repealed  Obamacare   compared to just 27 percent of Democrats and 27 percent of independents.
However  about 40 percent of the Republicans surveyed do not believe Trump has repealed  Obamacare   along with 60 percent of Democrats and 45 percent of independents.
In a White House Cabinet meeting  President Trump claimed that  Obamacare  was essentially repealed in the Republican tax plan which repealed Obamacare's individual mandate.
He said that âwhen the individual mandate is being repealed  that means  Obamacare  is being repealed because  they  get  their  money from the individual mandate. "
âWe have essentially repealed  Obamacare  and we will come up with something much better â  he  concluded.
An Associated Press fact check found that while the repeal of the individual mandate was a âmajor change â core parts of  Obamacare  remained in place and were still funded through means other than the individual mandate fines.
The efforts by Republicans in Congress to repeal  Obamacare  fell short in the Senate earlier this year after the House passed a repeal bill in May. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told NPR last week that the Senate will likely "move on to other issues" next year.

SOLUTION: Positive

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rob Gronkowski ? Rob Gronkowski  is giving retirement some serious thought  apparently. (Bill Wippert/Associated Press)
 New England Patriots  tight  end Rob Gronkowski  raised some eyebrows after  his team âs Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 4 by saying âIâm definitely going to look at my future  for sure â an apparent indication that  he  was mulling retirement after eight NFL seasons. But considering an injury history that stretches back to  his  time at Arizona  Gronkowskiâs comments probably shouldnât be all that surprising.
â  He  missed  his  entire junior season in college after having surgery to repair a bulging disk in  his  back.
â In January 2012   he  sprained  his  ankle in the AFC championship game against the Ravens  and had only two catches in New Englandâs second Super Bowl loss to the Giants.
â The next season â  his  third in the NFL â  he  broke  his  forearm while blocking on an extra point and missed five games.  He  then broke the same forearm in a postseason win over the Texans and missed New Englandâs next game  a loss to the Ravens.
â  He  played in only seven games in 2013  missing the first six after offseason surgery to repair a fractured vertebra and then the final three after tearing the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in  his  right knee and suffering a concussion on one play in a Dec. 8 game against the Browns.
â In 2015   he  missed one game after taking a hit to the knee against the Broncos.
â This past season   he  suffered a concussion in the AFC championship game and likely was not 100 percent for the Super Bowl.

SOLUTION: Neutral

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Baker ? Certainly  Game 3 of the National League Division Series  won  2-1  by the Chicago Cubs over the Washington Nationals  was a kind of paradise for second-guessing. In fact  some might say the final score was: Decisions that blew up on Dusty Baker (2) over Decision that blew up on Joe Maddon (1).
Asked whether he’d heard Rizzo yelling  Baker said  “Nah  I don’t care. I’d have screamed  too.”
Soon  it was Baker’s turn. In the seventh inning with one out  Ben Zobrist broke up what had been a marvelous  downright gallant no-hit bid by Max Scherzer  who had spent the last nine days wondering whether the next time he pitched full-bore he might blow out his tight right hamstring and be done for the year. Before this game  Scherzer said he figured he would be good for maybe 100 pitches. He was at 98.
 Baker  called for Solis. The Cubs countered with the dangerous Albert Almora Jr.  who hit .342 against southpaws this year. Almora singled home the tying run on a change-up that stayed — up.
Finally  in the brutal eighth  in a decision and a moment that may be the most painful of the Nationals’ season if they do not rebound from this deficit   Baker  decided not to intentionally walk Rizzo  the Cubs’ top RBI man — by miles — and instead bring in lefty specialist Perez to cope with him. It was a journeyman-with-a-specialty against a superstar.
 Baker  had options.  He  could have walked Rizzo and let Brandon Kintzler  an all-star closer this year for the Minnesota Twins  pitch to Cubs cleanup man Willson Contreras  who is powerful but strikeout prone.  He  could even have (perhaps) overmanaged and brought in  his  best pure-stuff right-hander  Ryan Madson  to face Contreras to try to overpower  him .
Instead   Baker  believed in Perez. And  since this is baseball  Perez won the battle but lost the game. Perez jammed Rizzo  forcing that weak  sickly blooper into left field. That  anyway  is how it was described by  several Nats  including Baker . To the Cubs  it was a perfectly placed clutch hit.
For the record  as they say  with perfect hindsight  I think that  the Nats  may have managed as if the playoffs were different from the regular season — which is a current vogue. If this game had been played in August  I suspect there would have been little complexity.
And better options might have been chosen — ones that did not end up with  the Nats  losing a huge game in which neither of their two best relievers  Madson or Sean Doolittle  ever appeared.
Could that all have worked out so simply? Kintzler in the seventh  Madson in the eighth and Doolittle in the ninth to put the Nats one win from the National League Championship Series? For what it’s worth  not one Nat  and I asked several  had any problem with any Baker move. One veteran said  “We are a solid team — in every area. It’s not like we have a couple of good relievers and nobody else we trust. Our bullpen is good all the way through now. Nobody’s second-guessing those decisions.”
