Most Republicans Continue to View
Replacement Plan Favorably, But Their Support Has Slipped
Three-Quarters of the Public,
Including Most Republicans, View Medicaid Favorably; Most Oppose Federal
Funding Cuts to States
As the Senate prepares to vote on the Republican
bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and cap federal Medicaid
funding, a new Kaiser Family Foundation Tracking Poll finds most
Americans oppose the Republican plan and many of its key provisions. A majority
of Republicans, however, continue to support the Republican plan, though by a
significantly narrower margin than last month.
Most (55%) of the public holds an unfavorable view
of the Republican plan, while 30 percent hold a favorable one. There is also a
large intensity gap, with far more saying they have “very unfavorable” views
(38%) than “very favorable” ones (11%).
While a large majority of Democrats (85%) and most
independents (52%) hold unfavorable views of the plan, most Republicans (56%)
and supporters of President Trump (55%) continue to hold favorable views –
though support among these groups has fallen significantly since May, when
two-thirds of Republicans (67%) and seven in 10 Trump supporters (69%) viewed
it favorably.
