A new Rasmussen phone survey reports that just 25 percent of Americans believe Obamacare will help the U.S. economy, while 57 percent believe it will hurt it. Fully 78 percent of those surveyed believe that taxes on the middle class will have to be raised eventually to pay for the bill, and 66 percent believe that the plan will increase the federal deficit. Just 10 percent believe it will reduce deficit.

This concern is due in part to a lack of trust in the scoring process:

Eighty-one percent (81%) believe it is at least somewhat likely that the health care reform plan will cost more than official estimates. That number includes 66% who say it is very likely that the official projections understate the true cost of the plan.
Just 10% have confidence in the official estimates and say the actual costs are unlikely to be higher.

54 percent of respondents believe passage of Obamacare will lead to higher health care costs.
