Depends on how you phrase it. Because "do you want the government to cancel your private insurance and give you a government-run healthcare plan" which is a fair description of what transitioning to single payer would look like, Americans are 2:1 opposed to the idea.

Now, if you talk just public option that does get majority support. But that's not single payer, and so it gets attacked by many on the left of the spectrum as some kind of half-measure.

You want single payer? We need to convince people of it and stop pretending like we've already won the argument.

This happens already when people retire into Medicare and people LOVE it. Apparently it’s not Marxist Communism if you’re old and sick.
