Fifty-one percent of “Make America Healthy Again” voters said the cost of healthcare will have a “major impact” on their decisions in this year’s midterm elections, according to a KFF poll released Wednesday.
The newly released poll found that 56% of MAHA supporters said healthcare costs will likely sway which party they support in November’s midterms. Thiry-six percent of MAHA voters said vaccine policy will impact their decision to vote, while 40% say it will impact which candidate they support, the survey shows.
Forty-three percent of MAHA voters said food safety will impact their decision to vote compared to 45% who said the issue will affect which candidate they support in this year’s midterms, according to the poll.
About four in ten (41%) U.S. adults — alongside 43% of voters — said they support the MAHA movement, KFF’s survey found.
The poll releases as many Americans are squeezed by soaring healthcare costs. In 2022, people in the top 1% of out-of-pocket spending paid roughly $23,700 for medical services on average annually, KFF reported in October 2025.
White House economists projected that recent deals brokered by President Donald Trump with pharmaceutical companies could lead to savings of about $529 billion over the next decade, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday. Those deals aim to reduce certain U.S. prescription drug prices to match those offered to other countries.
Some analysts previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the MAHA movement appears to be losing momentum ahead of November’s elections, as many Americans have become more focused on other issues.
KFF’s survey was conducted from April 14 to 19, online and by telephone among a sample of 1,343 U.S. adults in English and in Spanish. The poll’s margin of sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points for the full sample. The survey’s margin of sampling error may be higher results based on other subgroups.
