Dem Super PAC Poll: Republicans Take **33-Point** Approval Hit For Backing Insurance Bill
Breitbart ^ | 03/24/17 | NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 03/24/2017 11:10:39 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Democrats are cheering a new poll which shows that likely 2018 voters shift 33 points away from incumbent GOP legislators once they are given negative information about House Speaker Paul Ryan’s healthcare bill. “Voters [in GOP districts] move from approving of their congressperson by 12 points(46% approve, 34% disapprove) to disapproving by 21 points (35% approve,56% disapprove) — a net shift of 33 percentage points,” says Priorities USA, which commissioned the poll of 1,001 likely voters into the popularity of Ryancare, or the American Health Care Act.

The Ryancare bill is intended to supplant Obamacare’s takeover of the nation’s healthcare sector.

The March 24 Priorities memo declared:

After hearing a positive argument in favor of the GOP plan, information about its provisions and consequences, and messages against their own incumbent for supporting it, we are able to really move the needle in a way that is rarely driven by a single issue, as it is in this case…

The top-testing message against the GOP proposal (as drafted at the time of fielding) is that it allows insurance companies to charge people over age fifty five times more than younger people for their care—with 61% of voters saying this raises “very” big concerns for them. This is the top-testing message among key target groups, garnering “very” big concerns among 75% of those who move on their vote, 66% of independents, 53% of Obama-Trump voters, and 69% of white non-college women.

The poll was conducted by Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group on March 23.

The poll matches the lopsidedly populist anti-Ryancare results of a Quinnipiac poll released March 23.

The Priorities poll showed significant shifts among several categories of voters once Democrats are able to push the anti-Ryancare argument.

At this point, if it doesn’t pass...I’d say Ryan has 30 days left as Speaker.

But if I were the Democrats....I wouldn’t be that happy. If it doesn’t pass....it means that they are stuck with unhappy folks who are quitting health insurance in bigger numbers and it’s a far bigger mess in four to eight years to clean up.

This is not related, but I don’t want to make a new thread on it. Shouldn’t there be a surveillance smoking gun release today?

Media is Full Blast:

"Trump 1st Major Legislative Effort A Failure"

"Manafort To Testify Over Russia/Trump Campaign Connection"

"Democrats Demand Nunez Resign"

We MUST destroy the Media and the Deep State or we are done. It's as simple as that.

The Freedom Caucus is literally saving Trump and the Republicans in Congress from the monstrosity known as Ryan Care from being passed AS IT IS. If Ryan Care (aka ObamaCare 2.0) becomes law, as is, we will OWN IT and be stuck with the blame for all the problems with health care and medical insurance. The ‘RATS will pin every problem on Trump & the Republicans. The ‘RATS will be reveling in their success in getting Ryan to take the monkey off of them and putting it on our backs.

The Republicans control the federal government now and promised to repeal & replace, there's no blaming the Democrats now, we own it. Ryan screwed up majorly.

If true, Ryan MUST removed, as speaker.
This is a devastating poll.

No doubt Ryan is a major screw-up but if the American people are stupid enough to blame the Republicans for the crash and burn of Obamacare then they deserve what's coming to them.

I have to agree. Obamacare is collapsing. That will put the Repubs in better shape to pass a replacement.

I think that was Ryan’s plan all along, hang the rearranged Obamacare around Trump’s neck so he would be a one term President.

I know I would have been disappointed in my Rep. Dave Brat if he had backed this boondoggle.
