Polls are easy to manipulate and not a good indicator of what people actually want.

> Do you support universal healthcare?

> Do you support raising your taxes by $X per year?

> Do you support universal healthcare if it means raising your taxes by $X per year?

"Do you support raising your taxes by $X per year?"

This would be a biased question to ask, since the economic effect on a U.S. citizen couldn't be measured by the tax rate alone.
