        2. Meanwhile we know Dems are running lots of attack ads on health care -- via @sangerkatz https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/17/upshot/democrats-campaign-ads-pre-existing-conditions.html … And that pre-ex protections resonate with voters.

        3. Senate Republicans tried to find some political cover with a sham bill, as @JeffYoung explained https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/gop-pre-existing-condition-promise-fraud_us_5b8053bfe4b0cd327dfc8a1c … And GOP candidates are trying to run away from their records, via @Robillard (and me)https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/republicans-lying-pre-existing-conditions_us_5b8964a2e4b0162f4722ab9d …

        4. All of this follows a big shift in ad buys on the ACA, as @aterkel documented earlier this yearhttps://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/obamacare-ad-spending_us_5b3bbf9de4b05127cced1d40 …

        5. Yes, there's a theme here. The politics of health care have turned against the GOP in a big way. You can see it in new @NavigatorPolls polling https://navigatorresearch.org/what-americans-think-about-corruption-in-congress-and-the-battle-for-the-court/ …pic.twitter.com/mm4cXxxWLU

        6. You can also see it the @pewresearch polls on which party voters trust more on health care, going back to 2010. Cited here: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/schuette-whitmer-michigan-medicaid-expansion_us_5b9bba69e4b013b0977a04eb … (Thanks to @aedwardslevy for finding the series, apologies for my amateur graph.)pic.twitter.com/PhglE9pqvr

        7. Note that, in late 2010/early 2011, Republicans nearly closed their historic gap with Democrats on health care. In late 2013 they briefly reversed it. In 2017, they fell behind again. Gap today is actually bigger than it was before.

        9. Public opinion on health care reflects many factors -- everything from first-hand experience with gov't programs to raw partisanship. Disentangling these factors is difficult.

        10. But you can tell a credible story about Republicans picking up some public support on health care with enactment and full implementation of the ACA, then losing that support with repeal.

        11. Another example -- this time, it's GOP candidates scrubbing their websites of Obamacare references. Good catch and reporting by @GideonResnickhttps://www.thedailybeast.com/suddenly-vulnerable-house-republicans-no-longer-bash-obamacare-on-their-websites?source=twitter&via=desktop …

        14. @pbump also found Fox polling that looks an awful lot like the Pew polling cited upthread, only with a longer time horizon https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/21/another-sign-that-central-issue-is-health-care/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ac3e2b5df1d0 …pic.twitter.com/joeqKxog48
