Poll: Trumpcare Could Destroy Senate Republicans in 2018
A new poll from Priorities USA and Senate Majority PAC shows that poll numbers for Senate Republican candidates could take a 30-point hit when voters learn they’re supporting their party’s bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Voters in 10 battleground states are split almost evenly about Republican senate candidates — with 21 percent of voters viewing them favorably and 20 percent viewing them unfavorably.
But when voters are told the Republican senate candidates supported repealing Obamacare, the candidates’ unfavorability rating jumps to 52 percent.
“After hearing criticisms of the Republican plan, voters in these Senate battlegrounds went from leaning toward voting the Democrat in 2018 by a healthy 48-38 margin, to leaning toward the Democrat by an even more robust 56-35 margin — an 11-point jump,” the poll stated.
In addition to this poll, both the House and Senate versions of Trumpcare have consistently polled below 20 percent, in addition to sparking dozens of protests across the country.
