    Surveys of American voters don't mean anything. A supermajority support universal healthcare but would never vote for it. Also as others mentioned, you can frame questions to get more of the response you want. Also people will just agree with what everyone around them has been saying for the past several months.

      Well maybe they would vote for it, but you'd never get a direct referendum on universal healthcare so we'll never know.

      That's another problem with opinion polling: people probably take this about as seriously as a poll about their favorite season, but might take an actual vote with immediate effects more seriously.

      When I was fundraising for a Medicare for all lobbying group I often got money from Biden and Trump voters. Shit is weird man.
