The new poll numbers might raise concerns among supporters of the ACA. | REUTERS Poll: Young least familiar with ACA

Young Americans under the age of 30 remain the least familiar age group when asked about the Affordable Care Act, according to a new poll released Monday.

The Gallup poll shows that 37 percent of Americans under 30 say they are unfamiliar with the law, more than two months after the insurance exchanges created by the law went live. For comparison, only 26 percent of Americans ages 30 to 49 and 22 percent of those between ages 50 and 64 say they are not familiar with the law.


The new poll numbers might raise concerns among supporters of the ACA, as the success of the law depends largely on high enrollment figures among young, healthy consumers.

Across all age groups, however, a vast majority of Americans are at least somewhat familiar with the law, with 72 percent of all respondents indicating some level of familiarity.

The poll of 1,034 adults was conducted Nov. 23 to Nov. 24 and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 4 percentage points.
