From Huffpollster:
TODAY’S POLL SONNET, ON METHODOLOGY
How do I poll thee? Let me count the ways.
Sometimes I poll thee on the telephone,
Though you are not answering much these days.
And restless have my interviewers grown.
For this I often turn to robocalls.
Then cell phones do pose another trial.
And another decision on me falls:
Voter list, or random digit dial?
If not upon the phone I can thee get,
Though some may consider this a scandal,
Sometimes I poll thee on the internet
If thou hast entered my online panel.
These days a mix of methods I oft use
And then multiple samples must I fuse.
Please share widely!

Interesting tidbit linked on the same page.
ACA public opinion continues to improve, bit by bit
paulsimmons says
…since the ACA numbers aren’t much to crow about.
From the link you cited:
There is little change in the political views of supporters and opponents of the law: nearly half of independents would support repeal, as would 72% of Republicans (though last week, 80% of Republicans wanted to repeal the law).
There has also been a drop in the percentage of Americans calling the law a failure. This week, 40% say that. However, there is no equivalent rise in the number calling the ACA a success. What has happened instead is that this week more are saying that the law currently is somewhere in between: 20% say the law is an equally a success and a failure, up from 13% last week.

But the trend is positive, as the crow flies.
As is often the case, though, the crow has to drive.
