News outlets in the U.S. are always seeking out ways to interpret the most controversial issues for fans and Obamacare is right on the top of that controversy list. A newly released poll reveals that American voters are sharply divided over whether the health care law will, in the end, be good or bad for the country overall.

The results of the poll, carried out by Fox News, show that it's a tossup.

The figures from Fox reveal that although a majority of Americans wish that the health care legislation had never passed, the number of voters who are glad it did are now at an all-time high.

The bottom line question, however, is whether Obamacare will be a good thing for this country in the end and statistics show that voter's views are split 47 percent - 47 percent. These numbers show an interesting contrast from last year's results, where most voters said it would be a bad thing by 51 percent - 42 percent.

In terms of political affiliation, the numbers were interesting. The majority of Democrats who said Obamacare will ultimately be a good thing (76 percent) matched exactly the number of Republicans who said it would be a bad thing (76 percent).

When asked about the original induction of the health care law, a 52 percent majority of voters polled say they wished that Obamacare had never passed and that the prior 2009 system was still in place. Examining the results of this inquiry in terms of party lines, the majority of Republicans (83 percent), a majority also of Independents (61 percent) and a smattering of Democrats (21 percent) say that they feel this way.

However, a good portion of voters -- 41 percent -- reportedly said that they were glad about the passage of the Affordable Care Act. This number is up from 37 percent when voters were polled in September of 2014. It's also the highest number on record since the question was first posed by Fox News in a poll in December 2013.

When asked about how President Obama is handling health care in general, 43 percent of voters voiced approval of the job he's doing, while 53 percent said they disapprove. It should be noted that these marks are the best that Obama has received on the issue over the better part of the past year.

This Fox News poll was conducted by telephone with live interviewers between Feb. 8-10, 2015. Participants included 1,044 registered voters who were contacted via cell phone and landlines and chosen randomly to take part in the survey, which was a nationwide effort. The poll in its entirety has a margin of sampling error plus or minus 3 percentage points.
