Poll: GOP Health Care Bill Unpopular With Republican Voters, Too

Hank Berrien

If you had any doubts about the unpopularity of the GOP health care bill, try this: a new Quinnipiac poll shows only 41 percent of Republicans support the bill, with 24 percent disapproving of it. As Allahpundit of HotAir notes, Republicans “normally break upwards of 80/10 on Trump measures.” He adds, “And it appears that they dislike it on the merits, not due to knee-jerk opposition to Trump: WaPo points out that Trump’s own approval rating in yesterday’s Quinnipiac poll was roughly twice as high as the bill’s rating in today’s poll across various groups.”

Even more disturbing for Republicans who are thinking of caving in to pressure from the White House, the poll shows 46 percent of voters say they will be less likely to vote for that person, while 19 percent say they will be more likely.
