Public confidence in Republicans' ability to handle health care and several other issues has declined in recent weeks, according to a new Hill-HarrisX poll released Thursday.

The survey of registered voters found that respondents' willingness to trust the GOP over Democrats on the topic of health care declined by 6 points when compared with an April 5-6 poll.

Thirty-one percent of participants in the May 5-6 survey said they had confidence in Republicans to handle the issue of health care, down from 37 percent who said the same previously.

Trust in Democrats to handle health care increased over the same time period by 3 points, from 42 percent to 45 percent.

Republican voters' willingness to trust GOP elected officials on health care was part of the decline. The new survey found that 72 percent of party loyalists said they preferred Republicans on the issue, down from 78 percent who said this in April..................


Independent voters appear to have become even less trusting of Republican policymakers on the issue. In the new poll, 21 percent of independent respondents said they believed the GOP was best on healthcare, down from 34 percent who said the same previously.

A bit of good news--

1. Can't believe anyone had much confidence in them to begin with

[not fooled]

3. Yes

after how many broken promises to provide better healthcare than the ACA?

And numerous attempts to repeal or wreck the ACA, without a replacement.

Only people who revel in cruelty but think it will never hurt them, or is worth it to stick it to minorities, support GOPee "health care."

2. Why are we down on Education and the Environment?

[rpannier]

8. Possibilties

We do have House members and at least one Senate member who believe in clean coal and other fossil fuels
The public attitude has begun to shift away from charter schools, but there are still advocates in support of them, even the for-profit ones
