Poll after poll confirms: America hates Trumpcare

A flood of new polls all tell Senate Republicans the same thing: Trumpcare is really unpopular. Extremely unpopular. So unpopular that this is the good news poll for Republicans: Politico/Morning Consult found a whopping 38 percent approval rate for the Senate bill, with a poll conducted before the Congressional Budget Office concluded the bill would mean 22 million people losing health coverage.

When that’s your good news, you’re not doing very well.

An NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist poll showed just 17 percent approval of the Republican healthcare bill. It’s joined by a USA Today/Suffolk University poll finding an even smaller 12 percent support. Quinnnipiac joined them in the under-20 club finding 16 percent approval, plus a few interesting details:

If a U.S. Senator or member of Congress votes for the Republican plan, 46 percent of voters are less likely to support their reelection, with 17 percent more likely and 33 percent who say the health care vote won't matter in their decision. [...]

American voters oppose 71 - 24 percent, including 53 - 39 percent among Republicans, decreasing federal funding for Medicaid. 

Voters also oppose 61 - 35 percent cutting off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. 

Both USA Today and NPR found majority support for leaving Obamacare as it is or improving on it, as did a Marquette Law School poll of Wisconsin.
