Poll finds limited Obamacare support amid court ruling unknowns
A AP GfK poll shows 21 percent of independents approve of Obamacare while 47 percent oppose. Most back Congress and the president starting anew if the Supreme Court strikes down the law, and over three quarters want health care reform beyond the ruling. Tea party backers show weaker support for a new bill yet still favor compromise. The court's decision is expected soon.

After a two day policy meeting the Fed cuts its growth forecast and signals readiness for further action while keeping short term rates at record lows through late 2014. Bernanke warns looser labor markets may require more steps amid Europe’s debt crisis.
