Poll: Single-payer support growing

SINGLE-PAYER HEALTH care is surging in popularity with a majority of American voters — and Democrats are loving it the most, a new poll showed Wednesday.

A Politico/Morning Consult survey said 49% of general voters support a proposal for a singlepayer system, while 35% oppose it and 17% hold no opinion.

But with Democrats, twothirds support a single-payer system, which was championed during the 2016 campaign by Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Only 18% of Democrats oppose it.

Republican voters still hold strong but not overwhelming opposition to a single-player plan. Fifty-two percent of GOP voters disapproved of the proposal, while 33% supported it, the poll found.
