It seems like this would boil down to how much of an issue is ObamaCare to each individual voter. There are some winners with ObamaCare, and some losers. The losers are the masses that had their premiums skyrocket. The winners are the folks that got free or reduced price insurance out of it, i.e. added to the Medicare rolls or got a subsidy (read: welfare). Winners are people previously uninsurable because of previously existing conditions. Losers are young people that previously ran bare and are now taxed for not buying something they should have, but don't want.

Losers also may include people who have coverage now, but still can't afford to go to the doctor because they can't pay the deductible.
