42% of all voters think the Affordable Care Act is a good idea, while 35% disagree, the latest NBCNews and WSJ poll finds.
Eighty percent of Democratic primary voters, as well as 72 percent of all registered voters who describe themselves as Democrats, say the Affordable Care Act is a good idea.Among independents, it's 37 percent good idea, 23 percent bad idea and 39 percent no opinion.
Looking to the future beyond the Affordable Care Act, the NBC News/WSJ poll also finds that a public insurance option is more popular — especially among Republicans and independents — than a"Medicare for All" single-payer system is. Seventy-three percent of all voters say they"strongly" or"somewhat" support allowing people under age 65 the option to buy their health care coverage through the Medicare program just like one might buy private insurance.
That includes 81 percent of Democratic primary voters, 81 percent of all Democrats, 76 percent of independents and 63 percent of Republicans.By contrast, just 43 percent of all registered voters say they support adopting a Medicare for All single-payer system in which private health insurance would be eliminated and all Americans would get their health care coverage from one government plan.
A combined 67 percent of Democratic primary voters and 68 percent of all Democrats in the poll say they back Medicare for All — similar to the exit poll findings in some of the early Democratic nominating contests.The NBC News/WSJ poll of 900 registered voters, and it has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.3 percentage points.
