Trumpcare less popular now than Obamacare was at its lowest point
The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll is very, very bad news for Republicans, for popular vote loser Donald Trump, and for their monster of an Obamacare repeal/"replace" bill. In fact, Trumpcare is even more unpopular than Trump!
Just 29% of Americans say they approve of President Donald Trump's decision to fire FBI Director Comey, while 38% disapprove, according to our new NBC/WSJ poll. Another 32% of respondents don't have enough to say on the matter. Yet among those who say they have read, seen or heard "a lot" about the firing, 53% say they disapprove, versus 33% who approve. But compare those numbers with these from the same poll: 48% say the health-care legislation that was recently passed by the House and supported by President Trump is a bad idea, versus 23% who call it a good idea. That 25-point gap between good idea and bad idea is larger than the NBC/WSJ poll ever found for Barack Obama's health-care plan. Back in December of 2013 -- following problems with the rollout of the HealthCare.Gov website — 50% had said the Obama plan was a bad idea, versus 34% who said it was a good idea (-16). This past February, however, 43% of Americans called the Obama plan a good idea, while 41% said it was bad (+2).
