Twenty-nine percent (29%) of American adults favor a national health insurance program overseen by the Federal Government. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 39% oppose such a government-led initiative while 31% are not sure.
The survey also found that 46% believe the quality of care would decrease under a national health insurance program while 16% believe that quality would increase. Twenty percent (20%) say the quality of care would remain about the same while 18% are not sure.
At the same time, 42% believe the cost of health care would increase while 25% would expect prices to go down.

Polls are a joke. Polls cover a very small percentage of the population. Pollsters target a group of people they know will answer questions in a certain way. Pollsters structure questions to elicit a specific response. Pollsters can disregard answers with which they disagree.
