Poll: The Affordable Care Act Remains Widely Favorable – Navigator Research

This Navigator Research report contains polling data on the latest perceptions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and tax fairness, including the share of Americans who believe Congress should prioritize extending ACA subsidies over the Trump tax cuts, and messaging guidance on health care and tax fairness issues.

88 percent of Americans support lowering health insurance premiums for Americans, including 93 percent of Democrats, 86 percent of Republicans, and 82 percent of independents. Nearly four in five Americans also support “extending health care subsidies to help Americans pay for health insurance” (net +67; 78 percent support – 11 percent oppose). However, when phrased more technically as “extending the APTCs, which are health care subsidies for health insurance costs,” it remains popular, but support drops to just 65 percent. 

Trump and Republicans’ 2017 tax law is 26 points underwater with Americans (30 percent support – 56 percent oppose), garnering opposition from four in five Democrats (net -68; 12 percent support – 80 percent oppose), half of independents (net -20; 27 percent support – 47 percent oppose), and one in three Republicans (net +18; 50 percent support – 32 percent oppose). As both the subsidies through the ACA and the Trump tax law are set to expire in 2025, three in five Americans say they would rather Congress prioritize extending ACA subsidies in order to make health care more affordable than to extend the Trump tax law (58 percent prefer extending ACA subsidies – 24 percent support extending the Trump tax law).

Nearly nine in ten Americans support tax cuts for working people (89 percent), while four in five support making the rich and big corporations pay their fair share in taxes (81 percent). By contrast, more than three in five Americans oppose cutting taxes for the rich and big corporations (63 percent oppose), including 76 percent of Democrats, 65 percent of independents, and 57 percent of Republicans.
