The Fox poll found that the Affordable Care Act’s favorability ratings (50%) exceeded its unfavorable ratings by 3 points, but also, recent polling from 2016 found universal healthcare, which Sanders was the only presidential candidate to promise in his platform, boasts a favorability rating of 58%.
