A solid majority of Democratic voters want a presidential candidate who supports Medicare for All, or socialized medicine.
According to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday, the more Democrats cherish universal, user-pay medical care, the better Harris is looking as a potential presidential candidate.
Fifty-seven percent of Democrats said they would be "More likely" to vote for a candidate who supports the Medicare for All pitch that has been promoted by Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Only 22 percent of respondents to the poll indicated that a candidate's support for universal medical care would make them "Less likely" to vote for that person.
A poll released last week indicated a similar support for universal medicare - 56 percent - among all American voters.
Despite the gathering collection of progressive Democrats supporting the health care proposal, the poll, conducted between Jan. 25-27, indicates that Harris is by far the largest beneficiary of the policy's momentum.
The California senator, who arguably received positive media treatment at her presidential campaign kick-off event in Oakland and a large public viewing audience at her recent CNN town hall, is suddenly in the number three position for preferred Democratic nominee for president, according to the poll.
