A new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 84.5 percent of Democrats and 51.9 percent of Republicans would support a policy of Medicare for All in the U.S. healthcare system. About 70 percent of Americans look favorably on offering some sort of baseline medical care in the U.S.
The most recent Gallup poll finds that 79% of Americans support a woman’s right to choose in some way. 29% of Americans say abortion should be legal under any circumstance, and 50% say it should be legal under certain circumstances.
When asked, “Would you like to see the Supreme Court overturn its 1973 Roe versus Wade decision concerning abortion, or not?” 64% said no compared to 28% saying yes.
When it comes to gun control, the most recent Gallup poll find that 67% of Americans want stricter control compared with just 4% that do not.
95% want background checks for all gun purchases and 56% would support a ban on semi-automatic weapons.
I think it’s important to know and remember what Americans actually think and want in a time when our legislators and the President are so highly ineffective at honoring and respecting the will of the people.
