New Kaiser/The Washington Post Swing State Poll on Medicare and the Election
A Kaiser Family Foundation/The Washington Post poll explores attitudes towards Medicare among registered voters in three swing states -- Florida, Virginia, and Ohio. While the economy remains the top issue, in each state about four in ten voters say Medicare is an extremely important issue to their vote. For seniors, Medicare rivals the economy as a top voting issue. As of mid-September, majorities of voters in these states say they would prefer to keep Medicare as it is rather than change it into a premium support system, a view shared by an even higher share — seven in ten — of seniors.
