Poll: Just 12% in Key Trump Counties Back GOP Health Care Bill

Just 12 percent of Americans living in the counties that fueled Donald Trump's win in the 2016 presidential election support the Republican Party's efforts on health care, according to results from the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll of these "Trump counties."

Asked their views on the health care legislation passed by the House of Representatives in May and backed by President Trump, 12 percent of the respondents in these counties — consisting of Republicans, Democrats and independents — called the bill a good idea, while 41 percent said it was a bad idea. Forty-seven percent had no opinion or say they're not sure.

Even among Trump voters in these counties, only 25 percent believe the House GOP health care bill is a good idea, 16 percent think it's a bad idea and 59 percent have no opinion or are unsure.

That's compared with 75 percent of Hillary Clinton voters in these counties, who say the legislation is a bad idea, zero percent who say it's a good idea and 26 percent who have no opinion or are unsure.

If it had been successful, his name would have been plastered all over it until it became obvious there were major problems with it. Then Trump would have disavowed the entire mess and claimed he was only lending his name and that he had nothing to do with it.
