That number is less than the number of people in general who support the repeal; 26 percent of the general public want Obamacare to be fully repealed.

None of the doctors who identify as Democrats support the repeal, while just over 32 percent of Republican doctors survey do.

Although a small percentage of doctors support the repeal, nearly three quarters (73.8 percent) are in favor making changes to the law.
