Poll: Half Blame Trump, GOP For Rising Obamacare Costs

Poll: Half Blame Trump, GOP For Rising Obamacare Costs

If Obamacare costs continue to skyrocket and more people lose their health insurance coverage, more Americans would put the blame on Republicans than Democrats in a new poll.

Key results from the NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey:

  • 50 percent of the U.S. adults surveyed said they would blame Trump and Republicans if health insurance problems continue under the current Obamacare system.
  • 37 percent would blame Democrats.
  • 27 percent said they approve of Trump's handling of healthcare, while 57 percent disapprove.
  • 43 percent said Obamacare is a good idea, compared with 39 percent who said it was a bad idea.

Republicans have not yet been able to fulfill their promise of repealing and replacing Obamacare this year despite controlling both the executive and legislative branches of the government.

A report last week claimed that health insurance premiums under the Obamacare system will rise by an average of 34 percent next year.
