Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is sinking like a rock in the latest national Democratic presidential primary polls -- a development that comes amid sustained criticism over the details of her "Medicare-for-all" plan.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday shows the populist liberal senator’s numbers slashed in half from 28 percent to 14 percent from the month before. After leading the pack in Quinnipiac’s October poll – which was seen as a sign of her surge in the race – Warren’s 14-point drop has her now in third place behind former Vice President Joe Biden and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
BIDEN RETAKES LEAD IN NEW POLL AS WARREN'S NUMBERS PLUMMET, BUTTIGIEG GAINS GROUND
Another national poll from CNN released Wednesday also shows Warren in third place with 14 percent support, behind Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. That poll reflects a 5-point drop for Warren from CNN's October survey.
Warren has also seen a drop in support in polls from early voting states, like Iowa and New Hampshire, from October to November, as Buttigieg has risen.
Over the last month, Warren took heat from her center-left rivals and faced skepticism in the media over her "Medicare-for-all" funding plan after claiming the middle class wouldn't be hit with a tax hike, and the wealthy would fund it.
But a recent study released by the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget declared it would be "impossible" to finance any such plan using only taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board also challenged other calculations, especially her claim that the plan would translate to $20 trillion in additional spending, whereas other estimates for "Medicare-for-all" have put the cost roughly $10 trillion higher.
Polling shows it’s a tough sell: the Quinnipiac poll released this week indicated "Medicare-for-all" is getting more unpopular among American voters, with 36 percent saying it is a good idea and 52 percent saying it is a bad idea. That’s a drop in popularity from Quinnipiac’s March 26 poll showing 43 percent favorable, and 45 percent unfavorable.
Sanders admits he will raise taxes on anyone making over 29 grand a year.
Now you are relying on polls?
Fuck off
Thought so.
Anyone can read the article. You were wrong. America doesn't want single payer. You're a lying sack of shit
Deflect away bitch
When looking at polls, it depends on how you ask the question. As shown in this post. Just like if you ask people if they like Obamacare, people say no. If you ask if they like the affordable Care act, they say yes.

Lizzie is cratering and backtracking
People don't want it. Period
You lied
But if you ask the question just right, and you lie to them and tell them it will save them money, and take 20 pounds off their waistline and make them look 10 years younger they support it, for others, but not for themselves.
