The results also needs to split up into the people who think it should be stronger, from the ones that don't like it just because the Democrats pushed it this time versus the Republicans.
Definitely! Fortunately, the Kaiser Family Foundation has done just that:

Expand the law: 28%
Keep law as is: 19%
Repeal and Replace: 18%
Repeal and NOT replace: 23%
Don't know/refuse: 12%
47% want to keep the law as is or expand it, 41% want to repeal it (with some also wanting it replaced). So that "47% disapprove" result is misleading because it gives the impression that 47% want it repealed when in fact several percent of those who don't approve of it don't approve of it because they think it doesn't go far enough but are not in favor of having it repealed.
