The Health Care Election

May 21, 2019 · 11:33 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Amid the hullabaloo over purported immigrant hordes, alleged Chinese perfidy on trade and a Green New Deal, Americans — crossing lines of age, party and gender — are united in what they really care about, according to a new poll: health care,” Axios reports.

“Eighteen months before the presidential election, the finding suggests potential peril for President Trump should he be seen as insensitive on the issue.”

“Health care was the most important issue across all three groups: 45% of Democrats, 30% of Republicans and 31% of independents ranked it their No. 1 issue from a list of six that were shown. For Republicans, 29% said the economy was the No. 1 issue and 28% immigration. 62% of all people polled said health care is the No. 1 or 2 issue.”
