KFF Poll Finds Health Costs Top Voter Concern Before Midterms

In its Health Tracking Poll, KFF reports that health care costs rank tied with gas prices as voters' top concern heading into the 2026 midterm elections, about a month away. The poll finds Democrats hold a clear advantage over Republicans on which party voters trust to handle health care costs and cost of living issues generally. It also finds support for Medicare-for-all has reached two-thirds of U.S. adults, a new high in KFF polling, though that support softens once respondents hear competing arguments from critics and proponents. The poll reflects broader public opinion trends rather than a specific policy or legislative action.
