Newsweek - Registered voters in Tennessee, which backed President Donald Trump by nearly 30 points in the 2024 election, are deeply opposed to cuts to Social Security and Medicare, according to a new poll from Vanderbilt University.
The level of agreement against the potential cuts across party lines is "pretty stark," John Geer, Vanderbilt Poll co-director and professor of political science, told Newsweek.
Trump has repeatedly vowed to protect Social Security and Medicare against cuts on the campaign trail, but some Republicans have called for reform or changes that could impact funding to these popular programs. Some supporters of these programs have also raised concerns about whether they could be impacted by efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was spearheaded by Trump's billionaire ally Elon Musk.
