Recently the Progressives and Socialists have been partying it up over the recent Reuters poll showing 70+% want “Medicare for All.”

Here’s a google search. There’s about 96k hits.

Here's Bernie Sanders pushing the poll

Here's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doing a touchdown dance about the poll.

That poll was first published last week in this article regarding the leftward shift of the Dem party. reuters.com/investigates/s…

If that poll seems a big fishy and self serving to you, well, I thought the same thing. Here’s the methodology: polling.reuters.com

Its an online poll, which makes it very sketchy from the start.

Chris Kahn is the polling expert. Here he is promoting the article which contains his own poll. And check out his timeline. He’s pretty far left.

Basically, it seems like the poll is crap.

Here’s the poll in question. It claims that 70% favor Medicare for All.

Here’s a poll about Single Payer, supported by only 43% surveyed.

Finally, here's a poll about Government Run Healthcare, supported by only 40% surveyed.

Summary:

The (allegedly) same polling methodology concludes:

70% favor Medicare for All
43% favor Single Payer
40% favor Government Run Healthcare

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
The Socialists think we're too stupid to know the difference.
