While the Senate Debate, the massive bill for historical spending and GOP tax reduction – nicknamed by President Donald Trump as his “big and beautiful bill” – a new national survey indicates that a majority of American voters oppose the measure.
Fifty-three percent interviewed in a new national survey of the University of Quinnipiac declared that they were opposed to the bill, with 27% in support of the legislation and one in five not offering any opinion.
According to a margin of 67% to 10%, the Republicans interviewed supported the bill, 22% not offering any opinion.
But democrats, by a margin of 89% to 2% and voters independent of a margin of 57% to 20%, give the bill a boost.

The bill adopted the House of Representatives last month by a single vote. And Trump puts pressure on a deadline of July 4 for the measure to go through the congress and lands on his desk in the White House.
The measure designed by the GOP is filled with promises of Trump campaign trails and priorities in the second term on tax reductions, immigration, defense, energy and debt limit. It includes the extension of its tax reductions in the 2017 signature and the elimination of taxes on advice and overtime, providing billions for border security and codifying its controversial repression of immigration.

The measure, if signed, would probably feed even more the massive budget deficit of the country. The national debt is currently at 36,214,475,432 210.84 $, according to the National Tracker of Fox Business debt.
While the Democrats attack the bill, they highlight the restructuring proposed by the MEDICAID GOP – the federal program of almost 60 years which offers health coverage at around 71 million low -income Americans.
The modifications made to Medicaid, as well as the discounts of food coupons, another of the main security net programs in the country, were partly written as compensation to pay to extend Trump’s tax reductions in 2017, which should expire later this year. The measurement includes a multitude of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those who require Medicaid coverage.
First of all on Fox: these republican governors say that they “remain united” in support of “ one Big and Beautiful Bill “of Trump
Democrats have implacably attacked the Republicans on what they say to be “huge reductions” in Medicaid if the bill becomes a law.
According to the survey, 47% of voters think that federal funding for Medicaid should increase, 40% saying that it should remain the same and 10% arguing that funding should decrease.
There is an expected partisan fracture.
Seventy-nine percent of the Democrats say that Medicaid funding should increase, 27% saying that it should remain the same and only 2% saying that it should be reduced.
Twenty -one percent of the Republicans say that funding should increase, 56% saying that it should remain the same and 27% calling for discounts.
Among the self -employed, 47% said that federal funding for Medicaid should increase, 39% want it to say the same thing and 11% say that should decrease.

“With the future of Medicaid as a health care safety net for millions of suddenly uncertain people, voters clearly indicate that they want the 60 -year program for those who need to be treated,” said Tim Maloy, Survey Analyst of Quinnipiac University.
The Quinnipiac University survey was conducted from June 5 to 9, with 1,265 voters registered across the country. The overall survey sampling error is more or less 2.8 percentage points.
