53 percent of Texans strongly favor a repeal of federal health care reform, while 24 percent strongly oppose repeal, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll. The state has joined 19 other states in bringing a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of reform legislation, which passed Congress this spring and was signed into law by the president.

This statewide telephone survey of 500 likely voters in Texas was conducted by Rasmussen on May 13; the margin of error is +/- 4.5 percent.
