Sixty-nine percent of registered voters in the April 19-20 survey support providing medicare to every American, just down 1 percentage point from a Oct. 19-20, 2018 poll, and within the poll's margin of error.

Popularity for Medicare for All grew slightly among Democratic voters, with a 2 percentage point increase from 2018.

Support among independent voters was steady at 68 percent.

However, support among Republican voters declined 6 percentage points over the course of two years, from 52 percent support in 2018 to 46 percent in 2020.

is not the same thing as Medicare for All as it's been proposed. M4A is "Medicare" in name only and always was -- it's a marketing term.

It was never intended to be an expansion of Medicare. It was intended to replace Medicare.

Therein lies the problem and the source of much confusion.
