Elliott, your post about Medicaid is actually worse than it first appears. As the NYT data show, if the point of OBBBA is to create administrative mayhem for all enrollees in an attempt to reduce the NUMBER of enrollees who are at the bottom of the graph (3%), then that would be sad enough. But, if the point is to reduce Medicaid SPEND on coverage for "gamer bros", it will be less than 3% because more than half of total Medicaid spend is on enrollees over 65 or disabled who, combined, are 36% of enrollees. Of course, the real reduction in spend will come from the millions who will lose coverage from the administrative burden and the health care providers who will close down from lack of state funding.
It’s so stupid. They demand work requirements without REQUIRING THE CORPORATIONS TO PROVIDE JOBS. It’s been tried before under Clinton…within 10 years and more republican administrations we have more people on the streets since the gilded age.
Is the subheading concerning young voters just about the NYC Democratic mayoral primary? I was anticipating an average of crosstabs from early generic ballot surveys.
Hi Elliot - I'm not sure if this is where we upload questions for future polls you might do, but I wonder what the religious breakdown for Trump approvals and intentions for 2026 voting look like. I'm particularly curious about how the religious right, compared to the more left-leaning 'nones' or no religious affiliation are looking, especially with Trump off the ballot.
The Republican attempt to create roadblocks to accessing health care presents the Dems with a golden opportunity. Use every precinct, city, county and state Dem office as a hub to help those--many will have mental challenges/many will be Trump voters--to sign for what should be the right to decent care. Make the Dems the party of compassion and care, as opposed to hate and exclusion--provide transport, coffee and donuts, and committed volunteers, and maybe voter registration. The struggling and abandoned poor will remember who provided the help.
My daughter, now in her mid 30's, is working full time. She has psyce diagnoses but is finally on meds and has some degree of stability and doing quite well. The problem is her job does not pay a living wage. She will probably always be dependent on some federal assistance for herself and her children. Where is the answer if a lot of full time employees are not paid a living wage. We need folks who do jobs like hers...we are all actually quite dependent on health care workers. This have/ have not disparity is an ever growing crisis...

Seems like the thought is, "Better one million people die, than one ineligible person receive Medicaid."
