Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

As long as we’re on the subject of Obamacare, here’s the latest Kaiser tracking poll on its favorability rating:

Nothing much has changed. Obamacare opened up a big favorability gap around the time Republicans tried to take it away, and that gap is now hovering around ten percentage points on a pretty consistent basis. This is mostly due to more favorable responses from Democrats (80 percent favorable) and Independents (50 percent favorable). Republicans have stayed at a dismal 18 percent favorable the whole time.
