Over half of voters in North Carolina disapprove of the Senate Republicans health care repeal bill, according to a recent poll by Public Policy Polling.

Nearly half of voters claim that Senator Thom Tillis’ support of the repeal would make them less likely to vote to re-elect him in 2020, as opposed to 28 percent of voters who said it would make them more likely to vote to re-elect Tillis.

The poll shows that as of now, Thom Tillis would narrowly lose re-election by four points to “his Democratic opponent.”

Healthcare is certainly a large factor in this, as 80 percent of voters claim that it is either the most important or a very important issue.

North Carolina was polled on the issue along with Colorado and Iowa because the three states are now all represented by Republican Senators but had Democratic Senators prior to 2014, according to a release from Save My Care – an organization that commissioned the poll.

The release also shows that 53 percent of voters would rather fix the Affordable Care Act instead of repeal it.

Although Donald Trump won North Carolina by four points in November’s presidential election, the poll shows his disapproval rate has reached 50 percent in the state.
