Poll: Nearly One
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percent of those surveyed said that Trump kept his campaign promise to repeal Obamacare  49 percent said he hasn't repealed  Obamacare   and 21 percent were unsure.
More Republicans  44 percent  believe Trump has repealed  Obamacare   compared to just 27 percent of Democrats and 27 percent of independents.
However  about 40 percent of the Republicans surveyed do not believe Trump has repealed  Obamacare   along with 60 percent of Democrats and 45 percent of independents.
In a White House Cabinet meeting  President Trump claimed that  Obamacare  was essentially repealed in the Republican tax plan which repealed Obamacare's individual mandate.
He said that âwhen the individual mandate is being repealed  that means  Obamacare  is being repealed because  they  get  their  money from the individual mandate. "
âWe have essentially repealed  Obamacare  and we will come up with something much better â  he  concluded.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 âmajor 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.
