New Poll: Medicaid Expansion

According to a recent poll by Christopher Newport University, opposition to Obamacare's Medicaid expansion and the false promise of free federal money is growing. 53% of Virginia's oppose Medicaid expansion in the latest poll, up 15% from the same poll's findings in February.

In addition, 71% of Virginians support the General Assembly coming to a compromise in order to avoid a State Government shutdown. House Republicans have offered the clearest path to compromise - pass a clean budget to avoid a government shutdown and debate Medicaid expansion during a special session. This would ensure that the core functions of state government, including teachers and school boards, police departments, firefighters, and transportation crews, will receive funds to continue serving the public.

The effects of a delayed budget over Obamacare's Medicaid Expansion is astounding. The number of Virginians with a positive view of state government has dropped by 8 percent since Governor McAuliffe took office. It only took one session under Governor McAuliffe's divisive and ideological leadership to lose the confidence of Virginia voters, who for the first time in years think the state is on the wrong track (42% right, 44% wrong).
