It is indicated by a survey that lower-income, younger adults and blacks who are more likely to be uninsured favor U. S. healthcare reform, while older whites do not.

After healthcare reform was approved by the House of Representatives Sunday, the Gallup daily tracking poll conducted on Monday found that 49 percent of U. S. adults overall say Congress' passing healthcare reform is a "good thing," but the support is greater among Americans who currently lack health insurance.

While 54 percent of seniors say they see the passage of the bill as a negative, older, higher-income and insured Americans have more mixed reactions.

By 51 percent to 41 percent, married adults call the bill a bad thing. In contrast, unmarried adults call it a good thing by an even wider margin, 60 percent to 26 percent.

Compared with 40 percent of whites, seventy-three percent of non-whites say the bill's passage was a good thing.

The telephone poll of 1,005 U. S. adults was part of the Gallup daily tracking poll and had a margin of error of 4 percentage points. (With Inputs from Agencies)
