WASHINGTON, May 27 (UPI) -- A majority of Americans still oppose the new healthcare law known as Obamacare, a CNN/ORC International poll released Monday indicates.

Three years after it became law, 43 percent of respondents say they support the healthcare law, a figure unchanged since it was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010, and 54 percent oppose it.

These figures are relatively unchanged since 2010, CNN noted.

The law is too liberal, 35 percent say, with 16 percent saying it is not liberal enough.

The poll was conducted May 17 and 18 by ORC International, with 923 adults questioned by telephone. Its overall sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
