Our new poll.
Everyone — Dems, R’s, Independents — are against big Medicaid cuts. Not really surprising.
What is: MAGA supporters are divided on cutting Medicaid. As Steve Bannon said: “lots of MAGAs on Medicaid”.

This is why when we ask people about their insurance in surveys, we have a system to pipe in the different program names depending on where they live. It's also why when changes to "Medicaid" are debated in Washington, some people may not understand how they'll be affected.

Medicaid covers more people than Medicare and Social Security, including many in Trump’s political base. It hasn’t been a political third rail, but that’s starting to change.

As GOP eyes Medicaid cuts, Trump tries to avoid the political third rails
