Poll: NC Residents Support Health Care Reform

A poll shows that North Carolinians' support of health care reform hasn't wavered in the past five months as three-quarters continue to support changes to the system.

The results of the Elon Poll were released on Friday as the U.S. House prepared to vote Sunday on the issue.

The poll taken this week shows that 78 percent of respondents believe the health care system needs reform, mirroring results of the October poll, when 76.6 percent said reform is necessary.

Fifteen percent say the system is fine as is, and 6 percent say something needs to be done but the government shouldn't make the change.

The poll was conducted March 14-17. It surveyed 579 North Carolina residents, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.
