While over one-third of Republicans believe Medicaid and SNAP will be cut, the majority of Republicans are opposed to it. The poll found 75 percent of those surveyed were opposed to cuts to Medicaid, and 72 percent said the same about SNAP.

SNAP, which provided food aid to 41.7 million Americans last year, and Medicaid, the federal health plan which provides coverage to 72 million low-income and disabled people, could face sweeping cuts under a budget plan taking shape in Congress.

The federal spending cuts proposed by the Republican-controlled Congress could lead to tens of thousands of jobs lost across Missouri and Kansas health care systems and food suppliers, a new study found.
