1. Roughly half (51 percent) of Americans surveyed said they agree that government-run healthcare should be provided to all residents, down one percentage point from February.
2. Sixty-three percent of Americans said they agree health insurance should be subsidized for low-income people who aren’t in Medicare or Medicaid programs. That’s only down two percentage points from February.
3. Opinions haven’t changed widely by party line either. Sixty-nine percent of Democrats said all Americans should receive government-run health insurance, up from 68 percent in February. Thirty percent of Republicans said the same in the most recent survey, compared with 33 percent in February.
