30. "just 20 percent oppose" plan similar to Medicare
When presented with the option of a government-administered health insurance plan similar to Medicare to compete with private health insurance companies, 72 percent are in favor and just 20 percent oppose. Even 50 percent of Republicans favor that option.

The first poll that came to mind, didn't save any links from looking before.
My headline is slanted but makes the point that very few DISAGREE with what Kucinich is pushing for.
That's single payer, no? Not even the tepid Public Option we're fighting to get.
