Americans have their fingers crossed that Donald Trump will address health care within his first 100 days in office, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Thursday has found. The priority tops the list of Americans' concerns that they want to see addressed as soon as Trump moves into the White House.
While 21 percent of Americans want health care fixes, employment was the second-most popular priority of respondents, at 16 percent. Fourteen percent of Americans picked immigration, and 11 percent said race relations. The poll did not account for what Americans want Trump to actually do, though; for example, only 37 percent of people want to repeal ObamaCare entirely and start all over.
Finally, 63 percent of respondents said they support Trump's presidency now that he has been elected. The poll, conducted online in English, reached all 50 states and 1,783 Americans and has a margin of error of 3 points. The full results can be read at Reuters.
