The news: More than three-fourths (78%) of US adults support extending federal funding tax credits for ACA insurance, according to a just-released KFF survey. That includes 57% of Republicans who support President Donald Trump.

Why it matters: Tax credits are a key sticking point in the Senate stopgap funding negotiations. Most Democratic senators support extending the credits past the end of the year—and their constituents agree.

• 92% of Democrats surveyed want Congress to extend the credits.
• 82% of Independents are also in favor of the extension, along with 59% of all Republicans.
• A majority (70%) of adults who buy their own insurance empathized with the more than 24 million people who receive subsidies, agreeing that if their premiums doubled it would significantly disrupt their household finances.

Thirty-nine percent said Trump deserves the blame if the tax credits aren’t extended. 37% put the onus on Republicans, and 22% blame Democrats.

Zooming out: Many Americans were unaware the ACA tax credits are expiring at the end of the year—31% said they knew nothing about it, while 30% heard “a little,” per KFF.

The 78% support was polled after respondents were told about the tax credit expiration for some of the low- and moderate-income households that buy insurance through the ACA marketplace.
