A recent Poll Review article published in Public Opinion Quarterly, discusses how the 2010 Affordable Care Act fits the model of a complex public policy about which elite opinion is divided on a partisan basis, where the public has low levels of information and has relied largely on partisan heuristics when asked their opinion. This poll review was conducted by Mollyann Brodie, Elizabeth C Hamel, Ashley Kirzinger, and Bianca Dijulio at KFF and draws on more than 80 KFF Health Tracking polls along with polls conducted by other organizations.
