CNN analyst: Medicaid cuts face 'shocking' public opposition

00:35

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten recently discussed public opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed federal Medicaid cuts, describing the level of resistance as "shocking" and the policy itself as "extremely bad." According to polling data, a remarkable 76 percent of Americans explicitly oppose the cuts, while only 24 percent support them. A separate poll found that George Washington's approval rating is 78 percent, which is nearly identical to the opposition rate to the Medicaid cuts and underscores just how unpopular the proposal is.
