"Highlights:"

"Americans' approval of Affordable Care Act now at 37%
Approval among independents and nonwhites each fell six points
Since its 2012 peak, approval has been lower than disapproval...

Bottom line

"The percentage of Americans who approve of the law represents a new numerical low....

Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Nov. 6-9, 2014, on the Gallup U.S. Daily survey, with a random sample of 828 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 50% cellphone respondents and 50% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods."...

11/17/14, "Gallup: 'New numerical low' for Obamacare," Politico, Lucy McCalmont

"Support for Obamacare continues to decline, with the law hitting a new low in approval, and a new high in disapproval, as the second enrollment period has opened for Americans, according to Gallup. Just 37 percent approve of the Affordable Care Act, 1 percentage point less than the previous low recorded in January, Gallup found in a new survey released Monday. The pollster notes the approval results are a “new numerical low” for Obamacare.

The second enrollment season kicked off on Saturday, with minor snagsl however, enthusiasm for the law remains underwhelming. A majority of Americans disapprove of Obamacare, at 56 percent — a new high, Gallup said.

“The law’s new low in approval — and new high in disapproval (56%) — could potentially have an impact on its future,” the pollster notes, but adds that repeal is still unlikely.

The Gallup poll was conducted Nov. 6-9 and surveyed 828 adults. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points." via Drudge
