Trump now owns whatever happens to Obamacare, and two-thirds of Americans want him to make it work
Republicans heading home this weekend need to be prepared, even if they don't end up voting on Zombie Trumpcare this week, for more confrontations with more angry constituents who will want to know why they're trying to make everyone's health care worse instead of better. The abysmal polling for Trumpcare and the surge in Obamacare's popularity tell the story.
But so does this: a full 75 percent of the voting populace wants the Trump regime to make the existing law work. That includes a majority of Trump's supporters.
The vast majority of Democrats (89 percent), eight in ten independents (78 percent), and half of Republicans (51 percent) say President Trump and his administration should do what they can to make the law work. There are divides among Republicans, with a majority of moderate and liberal Republicans (60 percent) saying the administration should do what they can to make the law work, compared to 45 percent of conservative Republicans. Among Trump supporters, 54 percent think President Trump’s administration should do what they can to make the current health care law work while a smaller share (37 percent) say they should do what they can to make the law fail.
