According to a recent KFF poll, 64% of Americans have an unfavorable view of the bill. This number increases to 85% among Democrats and 71% among the independent ones. While most Republicans Maga support the bill, supporting a shaky among Republicans who do not call the two-thirds of non-republicans either.
