Voters who support the Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA, movement were asked to rank their top priorities from a list.
Lowering the cost of health care was by far the most popular choice across the political spectrum.
Four in ten MAHA voters ranked cost issues first, compared to fewer than one in ten who chose limiting corporate influence on food policy, for example.
When it comes to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., only one in three Maha voters strongly approve of his job performance, even though Maha is Kennedy's signature effort.
The survey was conducted in mid-April and included 1,300 people.

When Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, this rules change became extremely important.
It helped create a system that has allowed medication to be mailed to residents in states with bans.
And that's a big part of the reason why the number of abortions nationally has not gone down at all, despite all of the state bans.
Louisiana challenged the Food and Drug Administration over a rule that allows patients to be prescribed mifepristone through telemedicine.
The state argued that remote access undermined their abortion ban.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed and issued a ruling to immediately put back a requirement that people go in person for the medication.
