PPP poll just out: 24% support GOP health care plan.

[kstewart33]

Public Policy Polling:

PPP's newest national poll finds that there is very little support for the American Health Care Act. Only 24% of voters support it, to 49% who are opposed. Even among Republican voters only 37% are in favor of the proposal to 22% who are against it, and 41% who aren't sure one way or another. Democrats (15/71) and independents (22/49) are more unified in their opposition to the bill than Republicans are in favor of it.

The Affordable Care Act continues to post some of the best numbers it's ever seen, with 47% of voters in favor of it to 39% who are opposed. When voters are asked whether they'd have rather have the Affordable Care Act or the American Health Care Act in place, the Affordable Care Act wins by 20 points at 49/29. Just 32% of voters think the best path forward with the Affordable Care Act is to repeal it and start over, while 63% think it would be better to keep what works in it and fix what doesn't.

63% of voters now support an independent investigation into Russia's involvement in the 2016 Presidential election, to only 28% opposed to one. On a related note, 60% of voters think Russia wanted Donald Trump to win last year's election to only 16% who think it wanted Clinton to win. Among Trump voters though, 30% think Russia wanted Clinton to win the election to 28% who grant it wanted Trump to be victorious.

With Trump and Obama making conflicting claims about the wire tapping we asked voters who they trust more, and Obama wins out on that question 54-39. And in general voters would rather still have Obama than Trump as President, 52/43.

1. The Russian traitor is trying a new diversion every day.

[uponit7771]

2. So is the CBO report official or rumor? That and this pool DontCare is up shit creek

[KittyWampus]

3. That 24% supporting Trumpcare is also the 24% that do NOT want to see Trump's taxes.

[anneboleyn]

14. Lol, and believe that Russian rule of 'Murica is okay b/c Putin is a "strong leader"

[n2doc]

4. That's good news

Seems like the proportion of people who just accept anything Trump tweets as gospel is falling.

[Doodley]

5. GOP health care seems to be tipping point

[StevieM]

6. I'm shocked that voters would only prefer to have Obama in the White House by a 9 point margin.

I would have thought it would be much higher than that.

I would have guessed 18.

[mobeau69]

10. Yep. Unbelievable how stupid or how racist a lot of people are. n/t

[Friend or Foe]

7. Are they tired of winning so much yet? eom

[anneboleyn]

16. Seriously. Trump went from "winner" to total joke at light speed. His tweets are a TOTAL JOKE now

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. 63% for indep investigation is a landslide number that will get even GOP Reps & Sens attention. nt

[DownriverDem]

9. And guess what?

We could have still had Obama's policies and more left movement with HRC than anything trump et al will come up with. The set back of the next four years is truly sad and disgusting.

[Gothmog]

11. Those are horrible polling numbers

[gademocrat7]

12. Ryan/drumpf care is a disaster.

More voters are seeing that they are going to be impacted in a very negative way.

[BobTheSubgenius]

13. That's odd.

Perhaps the pollsters somehow used a skewed sample, but I wouldn't have thought that 24% of people would be in the top 10% of income earners.

[Orrex]

17. A lot of them likely enjoy legacy union benefits and/or employer-based insurance

And they imagine that they won't be negatively affected by Trump's ransacking of the ACA.

[Mariana]

23. Or they're on Medicare and imagine the same thing.

I think a lot of the remaining support for this crap is among the older people.

[spooky3]

15. Yeah, but what if they took out the California responses?

[louis c]

18. Voters would rather have Obama than ?trump by 52 to 43?

How the fuck isn't that 100 to nothing.

You have to be an idiot to be in that 43%.

Oh, well.

[Tarheel_Dem]

19. "And in general voters would rather still have Obama than Trump as President, 52/43."

That is bound to leave a mark.

[louis-t]

20. 41% of Republican voters aren't sure

because they are waiting for someone to tell them how to feel.

[cstanleytech]

21. Do the Repugnant voters oppose it because it hurts to many people or because it doesnt hurt enough?

Alot of Repugnants do some to be sociopaths so wanting to hurt others is pretty much a given and I am willing to bet when they think not enough people are being hurt they have sad face.

[lindysalsagal]

22. Probably both. The rwingers are ungovernable. Thanks to Kochs and Faux snooze.

[Cha]

24. KR! And, who might those 24% be? Billionaires?

GObama!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. 52-43 would rather have Obama now? That little margin between what Hillary

got and 52 - these are the people to blame for the Trump fiasco. They either didn't vote or didn't think deep enough about what would happen if he won.

Actually, would think it would be much higher than 52 Last Gallup poll had Obama's approval rating at 59%. Can't imagine that Trump supporters and Obama/Democratic supporters are not mutually exclusive.

[The Wizard]

26. 24% is what voted for Trump (NT)

[Bengus81]

27. Must have done polling only in Kansas to even get 24%....

These idiots will drive off the cliff with Trump just like they've done with Brownback TWICE.

[nikibatts]

28. It's the same 24% who want to cut off their noses to spite their faces.

[izopnyde]

29. TRAASH

The name of Obamacare replacement is called Trumps Republican Almost Affordable Stay of Healthcare,
or Simply "TRAASH"
