A majority of Republican voters, including Donald Trump loyalists, want enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act to be renewed, a key sticking point in the government shutdown, according to a new poll.

In total, 59 percent of Republicans and 57 percent of self-identified MAGA voters want to keep the Obamacare subsidies set, which are to expire at the end of the year unless Congress strikes a deal, the nationwide survey found.

The fight over the subsidies has helped push the government into its first shutdown in six years.

Democrats say they will not support a continuing resolution to temporarily fund and reopen the government unless the GOP agrees to renew the subsidies for low-income health insurance. They are also demanding that Trump’s proposed Medicaid cuts, outlined in his “big beautiful” spending bill, be scrapped.

2. Oops.............

4. Hang tough, Democratic Representatives and Senators. . . . . nt

5. A poll is only devastating

if the people it is about actually care about the result.

Republicans don't seem to think they will have to compete in elections anymore. Most of them seem certain that what they say and do will not matter.

8. Fuck that democrat communist bullshit

7. Dear Leader is not going to like that. Doesn't fit the story.

[IronLionZion]

9. A lot of them believe undocumented immigrants are benefitting somehow

so they will cut of their own nose to spite their face. GOP keeps promoting that easily disproven lie because it works for them.

10. I'm shocked

Shocked that 57% magas even know that Obamacare is the ACA. I've seen quite a few interviewed before the election who wanted Obamacare repealed and wanted to keep their coverage through the ACA.

You really can't fix stupid

11. Do they care? I think not

My state government disregards the will of the people all the time and yet the republicans always get reelected.
Medicare expansion- Unicameral slow walked it and tried to stop it. Expansion was on the ballot and passed easily.
Medical marijuana- passed by the voters by 70%! - commission charged with this is making it so hardly anyone will be eligible to get it

Not sure why Congress will be any different when it comes to the will of the people.

12. Move to Maryland.

Even when we have Republican governors they listen to the will of the people.

14. The republicans are against "socialism" for the poor and middle class, but want it for the very people who don't need it

Socialism for the rich - the theme of the republican party.
And, effective socialism for republican candidates in the form of huge donations from those rich people who the republicans are giving rich guy socialism to.

[Uncle Joe]

15. Yes but they're not *rump's oligarch base, and that's who he is representing other than himself and his clan.

Thanks for the thread applegrove.

17. Honestly, these polls mean nothing. The magats have zero idea what they're being asked.

If they did, the numbers would be through the roof against trump and his cronies.
The magats are fed trump slop, ingest, blame dems.
My family is full of 'em. I talk to few family now. One, is hard-core lib, one is lib, one is dementia. The rest, I don't talk to unless it's a family emergency.

18. Trump's handlers will give him different numbers.

HYPERBOLE!

Never change, Daily Beast.

21. Sounds like Trump voters are woke.

22. They're about to find out just how much he doesn't give a shit about them.

He’s in there now and doesn’t need them anymore. And further, the Republicans don’t need them anymore. They’ve broken the government and are in the process of implementing the Orban model.

They can do anything they want now. If it hurts you…oh well. Do something about it. And no one will.
