Majority of Uninsured Voters Are Registered Independents

Gallup: Most people assume that the health care reform law would mostly benefit Democrats, but new polling finds that among the uninsured, 31 percent are Democrats, 17 percent are GOPs and 48% are independents.

Gallup’s analysis:

Given this finding from Gallup Daily tracking in March, passing health-care legislation did not merely cater to the Democrats’ base, but could potentially expand it among the uninsured themselves, who may now have more reason to support Democrats. Gallup polling immediately after the health care vote found 58 percent of uninsured Americans, compared with 45 percent of insured Americans, favoring the bill.
