New: Trump's pollster confirms GOP is screwed if they let the ACA's IRA tax credits expire
Presented with some comment (but mostly with a link to my state-by-state analysis of how much ACA exchange premiums are likely to skyrocket less than 6 months from now if the IRA subsidies expire):
via Politico, which has acquired the results of a poll conducted by Fabrizio/Ward, which is Donald Trump's own polling firm:
Our survey of voters in the most competitive Congressional Districts shows Republicans have an opportunity to overcome a current generic ballot deficit and take the lead by extending the healthcare premium tax credits for those who purchase health insurance for themselves. Without Congressional action, the tax credit expires this year.
While the 2024 outcome for these districts was even, the generic Republican is down 3-points among all registered voters. Among those most motivated to vote, an early indication of vote likelihood in the midterms, the Republican is down 7-points. If the Republican candidate lets the premium tax credit expire, the Republican trails the Democrat by 15-points. There is broad bipartisan support for the tax credit and their extension.
