New CfG Battleground Poll Shows Voters Want Vulnerable House Republicans To Cut Taxes & Reform Medicaid
Club for Growth released a new poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates in the 35 Republican congressional seats targeted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
“This poll of all key battleground House GOP races shows the House Republicans targeted by Democrats will win when they refuse to join Democrats in increase taxes and when they take bold steps to reform Medicaid to ensure fairness in the states. We are releasing this poll now while Republicans finalize negotiations on President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill so Members are well informed: they will be rewarded by voters after they take a tough vote despite the Democrats’ lies and misinformation. That is the key to winning and keeping the majority in the next election.” – David McIntosh, President, Club for Growth

Key Takeaways:
The path to victory for Republicans in these targeted districts, includes stopping any form of tax increases and generating savings in programs like Medicaid by cutting waste, abuse, and fraud, and eliminating taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants in order to preserve and protect funding for American citizens who need and deserve the government assistance.
By greater than a 6 to 1 margin (76% to 12%), three-quarters support stopping the tax increases. There is clear bipartisan majority support.
Four in five (81% to 12%) support Congress being required to eliminate wasteful spending and balance the budget before raising taxes again.
71% up to 79% are more likely to vote for a candidate for Congress or U.S. Senate who votes to stop tax increases, especially on small businesses and farmers, and supports cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.
Four in five (79% to 16%) support requiring able-bodied adults to work, be looking for a job, or attending school in order to receive taxpayer funded benefits like Medicaid.
To protect and preserve Medicaid benefits, a 2:1 majority (57% to 23%) supports a proposal to change the formula to require states to pay their fair share. Instead of states only paying $1 for every $9 of federal taxpayer dollars paid, the majority of voters want states to pay $3 for every $7 of federal taxpayer dollars paid.
