A majority of voters trust Democrats more than Republicans on the issue of healthcare and most say that ObamaCare is working fine, according to data from the latest Harvard-Harris poll.
The survey, provided exclusively to The Hill, found that 52 percent of voters trust Democrats to provide the best way forward on healthcare. Twenty-seven percent said they trust President Trump and only 21 percent said they trust Republicans in Congress, bringing the total GOP figure to 48 percent.
In addition, 53 percent said they believe ObamaCare is working, rather than failing.

“Republicans are paying a heavy price for division and confusion, losing the momentum on healthcare to the Democrats,” said Harvard-Harris co-director Mark Penn.
Those findings come as Republicans in the Senate seek a way forward to fulfilling their years-long campaign pledge to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
