Surely you remember 2012 when repubs here were positive Romney was going to come from behind and blow away Obama. Romney himself thought he'd win. Those repubs put too much stock in pollsters like Rasmussen and completely ignored statisticians like Nate Silver. My opinion is that everyone puts more stock in polls that confirm their own positions.
As for Obamacare, ¿quién sabe? It depends on what you read.
"It continues to go overlooked in the Beltway argument over Obamacare, but one of the most fundamental factors shaping the politics of all of this is that disapproval of the Affordable Care Act does not necessarily translate into support for Republican efforts to undermine or sabotage the law.
"Fewer than half of all Republicans and Republican leaners (43%) want elected officials who oppose the law to do what they can to make it fail; 37% say they should try to make it work as well as possible. However, 64% of Tea Party Republicans oppose the law and want elected officials to do what they can to make it fail. By comparison, just 31% of Republicans and Republican leaners who do not agree with the Tea Party favor this approach."

Based on my reading, I don't think the constituency is 100% unwilling.
Obamacare was signed into law in 2010 and Obama was still re-elected in 2012, 32 months later.
Did someone say the constituency is 100% unwilling?
Are all voters single-issue voters in your view?

Then what percentage did you mean by "unwilling constituency"?
I don't think all voters are single-issue but I do think most single-issue voters are conservative.
The majority of the people polled, as stated in the OP. Need me to link it for you?
