Poll: Voters Distrust Trump And Republicans On Health Care

Trump has been ramping up his efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act — and it could be disastrous for both Trump and his Republican Party, according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll released yesterday.

The vast majority of voters, 59 percent, don’t trust Trump on the issue of health care, despite his fantastical claims that he’ll come up with some mythical plan that’s better than the ACA.

Forty-five percent of voters say they trust congressional Democrats to handle health care, while just 35 percent of voters say they trust Republicans on the issue. And 40 percent of voters say they trust congressional Democrats “to protect people with pre-existing conditions from being denied coverage or charged more by health insurance companies,” while just 19 percent of voters trust Republicans to do the same.
