A new poll by Trump pollster found that House Republicans could score well with swing voters in the 2026 midterm elections if they supported extending tax credits for affordable healthcare premiums.

The polling offers a road map for how Republicans could sell their support for certain Affordable Care Act subsidies, which are expiring at the end of the year and have been traditionally opposed by the GOP .

Republicans may need to change their tune on Obamacare after years of opposition.

Four policies tested in the poll were used in the context of support for a House Republican candidate for office.

Included in the 18 surveyed districts are some of the 13 House Democratic seats won by Trump in 2024 .

Of the four , extending the healthcare premium tax credits in the ACA moved the ballot margin the most: from a losing margin of -5 points to a winning margin of 20 points.
