Poll: More than half of Americans are against Democrats using reconciliation to pass a health care bill through the Senate
More than half of Americans are against Democrats using reconciliation to pass a health care bill through the Senate, according to a new Gallup survey out Thursday.
Fifty-two percent of the 1,0009 adults polled nationwide oppose using the procedural maneuver to pass the health care bill in the Senate on 51 votes rather than the 60 votes required to end any filibuster. Forty-two percent would support the move, and not surprisingly there is a strong partisan split.
Democrats support passing the bill by reconciliation by a margin of 68 percent to 24 percent. Only 9 percent of Republicans want the bill passed using the maneuver, while 86 percent oppose it. Independents mostly oppose the move by 53 percent to 38 percent.
Additionally, if Democratic and Republican leaders meeting Thursday at the health care summit are not able to come to any agreement, 49 percent oppose the passage of health care legislation. Forty-two percent would be in favor of the bill moving forward and 9 percent didn’t know.
