Actually it's not.http://kff.org/health-reform/press-release/after-the-election-the-public-remains-sharply-divided-on-future-of-the-affordable-care-act/

"The new survey finds that one fourth 26% of Americans want to see President-elect Donald Trump and the next Congress repeal the entire law, and an additional 17 percent want them to scale back what the law does. This compares to 30 percent of the public who want to see the law expanded and 19 percent who want to see lawmakers move forward with implementing the law as it is."

In fact, just about the only major provision of the ACA not supported by majorities is the individual mandate:

"For example, majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independents alike say they favor:

Allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance plans until age 26 (85% of the public, including 82% of Republicans);
Eliminating out-of-pocket costs for many preventive services (83% of the public, including 77% of Republicans);
Providing financial help to low- and moderate-income Americans who don’t get insurance through their jobs to help them purchase coverage (80% of the public, including 67% of Republicans);
Giving states the option of expanding their existing Medicaid programs to cover more uninsured low-income adults (80% of the public, including 67% of Republicans); and
Prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage because of a person’s medical history (69% of the public, including 63% of Republicans).
In contrast, a third 35%of the public says they favor the law’s provision requiring that nearly all Americans have health coverage or pay a fine (63% have an unfavorable view). A majority of Democrats 57% favor this provision but far fewer independents 30% and Republicans 21% do."
