the Quinnie poll you're using has been bandied from here to Tripoli. Jim Jordan mentioned it this morning. It is a bit odd, tho, it came out 4 days after the Fox poll that showed:
Overall, 34 percent favor the current Republican plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. And while a majority of Republicans favors it (69 percent), a sizable minority is either against it (15 percent) or unsure (16 percent). Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats oppose the GOP health care plan (86 percent

released yesterday, Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll - under 40 percent approval, couched against their 'over 60 percent disapprove' of the way Trump is handling health care.

. Maybe that 17% is how many Democrats approve?
polls is polls is polls
Push polls can accomplish almost any result. A poll can easily get a 17% approval that asks some form of: “Do you approve or disapprove of the controversial Republican health care bill that will cause 24 million Americans to lose their health insurance?” Heck, even the questioner’s tone can influence results and of course the other questions they ask in the same survey. It’s amusing to see so many Freepers who normally attack polls as fake and manipulative throwing around that 17% number. I doubt 17% of Americans even knew what was in the plan.
