Centrist poll: 'Medicare for All' underwater in key battleground states

<snip>

'A new poll from a centrist Democratic think tank of three battleground states shows “Medicare for All” is far less popular than a plan to build off the Affordable Care Act.

The polling from Third Way, conducted in the “blue wall” states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, shows a sharp divide between those who support Medicare for All and those who don’t.

According to the poll, Medicare for All is just as unpopular in Michigan and Pennsylvania as President Trump’s plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Only 41 percent of respondents in Michigan and 40 percent of respondents in Pennsylvania said they supported the policy.

In Wisconsin, 47 percent of respondents supported Medicare for All.'

3. A poll conducted for Third Way

Third Way is funded by Wall Street and K Street ..They hate Medicare For all ...Third Way wants both parties under the complete control of Wall Street and K Street ...That is why they exist … To snooker Democrats into accepting bread crumbs under the false Flag of Centrism … Their poll has zero credibility ...If Joe is forced to drop out they are prepared to rally behind Conservative Bloomberg …
