Polls: GOP Legislators Dodged 2018 Headache When Leaders Dropped Ryancare
GOP legislators avoided a 2018 headache when House Speaker Paul Ryan withdrew his health care plan on March 24 amid a rush of polls showing broad and deep political opposition to the little-understood plan.
The wide gap between the huge levels of disapproval and the tepid approvals shown by the polls more than compensated for each poll’s flaws and weaknesses, and by the uncertainty caused when large percentage of uncommitted provided “don’t know” responses.
Only 17 percent of respondents said they supported the Ryancare plan in a Quinnipiac poll of 1,056 voters from March 16 to March 21. That poll showed lopsided 56 percent opposition, and 26 percent undecided. The Ryancare plan was supported by only 41 percent of declared Republicans. Independents split 14 percent positive, 58 percent negative. Just 17 percent of white college graduates and 22 percent of white non-college graduates backed the plan.
