In a major shift from past research, a survey from Pew Research finds that more consumers now want to keep Obamacare.

A new survey of 1,503 consumers from the Pew Research Center finds that 54% of consumers approve of the healthcare law passed seven years ago by Barack Obama and Congress, while 43% disapprove.

Throughout the law’s history, opinions about the Affordable Care Act have tended to be more negative than positive. As recently as December, about as many approved (48%) as disapproved (47%) of the law, Pew says.

The latest Pew survey finds that when those who disapprove of Obamacare are asked how it should be change they say they want Republican congressional leaders to focus on modifying the law as opposed to getting rid of it.

One in four adults want Republican lawmakers to modify the law, while 17% want them to get rid of it entirely, according to the Pew survey.

But there are deep partisan divisions over the current healthcare law. Democrats overwhelmingly support the law, with 85% expressing approval. Among independents, about half—53%—approve of Obamacare, while 45% disapprove. By contrast, Republicans broadly disapprove of the law, at89%, compared with just 10% that like Obamacare.

Republicans who disapprove of the healthcare law are divided on whether Republican congressional leaders should modify the healthcare law or get rid of it entirely, according to the Pew survey. Nearly equal groups of consumers say Republican leaders in Congress should focus their efforts on modifying the law, 42%, while 44% are in favor of getting rid of it entirely.

Among independents, nearly twice as many say Republican leaders should focus on modifying the law rather than scrapping it (29% vs. 15%).

About three-quarters of Democratic-leaning independents (78%) support the healthcare law, little changed from December, but up 14 points from a Pew survey in October. Opinions of Republican-leaning independents have shown less change; currently, 22% favor the law.

Democratic support for the law, which dipped in December, has increased 12 points since then (from 73% to 85%). There has been little recent change in Republicans’ views of the healthcare law, Pew says.

Younger adults are more likely than older people to approve of Obamacare.  Consumers under 30 approve of Obamacare (65% approve vs. 31% disapprove). In October, opinion among young people was more evenly divided (51% approve vs. 45% disapprove), Pew says. Since then, support also has increased among those ages 50 to 64 (52% now, 40% then).

Highly educated consumers continue to express broad approval of the current healthcare law: About two-thirds (68%) approve today, which is little changed from an October survey by Pew Research. Among college graduates, a majority today expresses approval of the law (58%).

Among whites, the educational divide is even wider. A 64% majority of white with advanced degrees approve of the law. White college graduates today have ticked up in their support for Obamacare: About half (52%) currently approve, compared with 41% in October.

But among whites with some college experience or less education, a majority (62%) disapproves of the Affordable Care Act, compared with just about a third who approve (36%).
