Nearly one in three of voters in the 2026 midterm elections said they did not know enough about the Make America Healthy Again movement to support it or not — and most of them backed Democrats, exit polls show.
After the massiveDemocraticvictoriesacross the country during a cycle where healthcare was a major issue, MAHA is experiencing a reckoning after a combined seven in ten voters either said they did not support the movement or did not know enough about it to make a determination.

Of this group, 54 percent voted for Democratic candidates and 43 percent supported Republicans.

Only 29% voters said they considered themselves MAHA supporters and of this minority, 86% cast their ballots for Republicans and 13% voted for Democrats.
