March 7-10, 2013: ABC/Washington Post Poll—Nationwide poll on cutting spending for Medicaid
(Automatic across-the-board budget cuts in federal spending have begun to take effect (March 1,2013) because (Barack) Obama and the Republicans in Congress were unable to reach a budget agreement last week.) As part of a budget agreement that would replace these across-the-board budget cuts, would you support or oppose…cutting spending on Medicaid, which is the government health insurance program for the poor? (If Support/Oppose, ask:) Do you feel that way strongly or somewhat?
