American voters oppose the GOP health care bill by a three-to-one margin, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Thursday.

The poll found that 56 percent of respondents opposed the American Health Care Act, compared to only 17 percent who supported the bill. Twenty-six percent did not know or had no answer.

Released the same day that the House is expected to vote on the bill, the poll showed voters’ unease about efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

The poll also found that respondents disapproved of President Donald Trump’s handling of health care as an issue: 61 percent disapproved, compared to 29 percent who approved and 10 percent who did not know or had no answer.

Quinnipiac surveyed 1,056 voters nationwide from March 16-21 using live interviews over land lines and cell phones. The poll’s margin of error is 3 percentage points.

  1. As if the GOP gives a crap about what the voters think.

  2. I think the House GOP is already “tired of all the winning” that Trump predicted would happen if he got elected. Because they are going to lose bigly on account of this issue alone. Dems will wrap this thing around their necks and hang them by it in 2018.

  3. Trump: No big deal. Majority didnt vote for me either. Electoral College loves TrumpCare.

  4. At 3-1 against he’d be lucky to get a single EV.

  5. trumpee can’t wait to get this behind him so he can begin talking about the attack in London and the implications to American security because of the name of the man who is thought to have done it: Khalid Masood.
