One week after the House passed the Democratic healthcare plan that President Obama subsequently signed into law, 54 percent of the nation's likely voters still favor repealing the law.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 42 percent oppose repeal.

Those figures are virtually unchanged from last week. They include 44 percent who strongly favor repeal and 34 percent who strongly oppose it.

Repeal is favored by 84 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of unaffiliated voters. Among white Democrats, 25 percent favor repeal, but only 1 percent of black Democrats share that view.

Only 17 percent of all voters believe the plan will achieve one of its primary goals and reduce the cost of healthcare. Most (55 percent) believe it will have the opposite effect and increase the cost of care.
