Now that a plurality approve of it, can it be an asset for Hillary, especially if the GOP candidate runs on repealing it?

Only 29% want to repeal it, the Republicans  themselves are moving on a renaming strategy of replacing tax subsidies with tax credits. The dire economic collapse of its 2014 implementation never happened. Full time employment is still growing. More people have health insurance. The only ones suffering are in non-Medicaid-expansion states. The law is staying.

Asset.
The only thing Obama (+ Democrats) accomplished in the past 8 years that wasn't a blatant wank for Wall Street.

The nation is polarized on issue. It creates part time or seasonal workers so employers can get around mandate.

But for elderly and women with children and the sick; asset.

Net plus in a close election for Clinton.

If she explains on the trail how she'll improve it - Mild Asset
If she just makes generic "It's good, but not perfect" statements and tries to get the electorate to forget about it - Neutral
If she declares it utterly perfect - Mild Liability
If she announces she's replacing it with a single payer system - Severe Liability

She could just do what Bill did in his convention speech, and not really talk about it as single entity "Obamacare", but refer to each individual point that is popular.

Depends. It will hurt with fundraisers, but this isn't as unpopular as Republicans like to believe.

It's interesting that even when Obamacare was super unpopular, a majority favored "fixing the law",  or "keeping it the same/expanding it" rather than outright repealing it. This is partly why the issue didn't hurt Obama in 2012 even though it was extremely unpopular then (well, that and Romney being the nominee.)

It won't be either. Hillary will be in support of it, and Republicans will be against it but ultimately recognize there isn't much they can do about it, and it'll be sort of a draw.

The proof that it will be an asset can be seen already in that the GOPers (with the exception of Cruz) aren't talking about it.
