Forty-nine percent of registered voters oppose the plans they have seen for overhauling the American health care system, while 34 percent support the plans, according to a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll conducted Aug. 11-12.

The same poll said President Obama's approval rating stands at 53 percent while his disapproval is 40 percent. Although his approval has declined while his disapproval has gone up, the president still is held in higher regard than Congress, which has a 30 percent approval rating with 59 percent disapproval.

The poll also found 35 percent of people worried that they and their families would be worse off if the plans were adopted; 20 percent thought they would be better off; and 37 percent said it would not make any difference.

The poll was based on telephone interviews with 900 registered voters and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
