Republican voters prefer candidates who promise to keep taxes low, while Democrats pick ones who promise universal access to health care, according to a new American Barometer survey.

The poll, conducted by Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company, found that 49 percent of Republicans said they would support a candidate making a low-taxes pledge, with 26 percent of GOP voters preferring a candidate who vows health care for all.

Forty-eight percent of Democrats said they would vote for a candidate who promised universal access to health care, and 11 percent would back a candidate who pledging lower taxes.

Twenty-one percent of independents said they would vote for a candidate who prioritized low taxes, and 27 percent preferred universal health care.

The survey comes as Republicans push economic growth ahead of the Nov. 6 midterm elections, while Democrats campaign on health care, with a focus on protections for pre-existing conditions.

Democrats hit back at the comments, saying Republicans will do away with protections for pre-existing conditions.

“Republican Senate candidates have been lying on the campaign trail about their promise to protect pre-existing conditions – and Mitch McConnell just blew their cover," Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Communications Director Lauren Passalacqua said in a statement.

The American Barometer survey was conducted Oct. 13-15 among 1,000 registered voters. The sampling margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
