71 percent of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts: Poll (thehill.com)

Summary

A new poll found that 71% of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts, while 82% of all voters reject them. Additionally, 60% of Trump voters said cutting food and nutrition programs is unacceptable.

Medicaid has become a key issue as House Republicans push for up to $2 trillion in budget cuts to advance Trump’s legislative agenda.

Their resolution directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find at least $880 billion in cuts.

This raises concerns that Medicaid, which covers 70 million people—mostly low-income and children—could be targeted despite GOP leaders downplaying benefit reductions.

In spite of that, reports I've seen claim that the Americans are actually generally satisfied with Trump's conduct thus far

I'm European, can any American confirm this?

Oh I completely agree with you. Most of these headlines are taking tiny little bumps or 3 twitter users complaining, and blowing it up into what we all want to hear right now.

I have zero anecdotal evidence that any of the magas in my sphere have any regrets whatsoever.

I have a handful of them in a discord, and no amount of pointing out blatant corruption will get them off of uh hunter Biden's laptop. I fucking hate people.

Polling says that most Americans are satisfied with Trump, or that only a slim plurality disapprove.
