A new Wall Street Journal poll shows Republicans, Democrats, and independents want the same cost-of-living fixes, which is good news for anyone hoping for practical reform and bad news for insurers and banks.

• The top three shared demands are all about health care: ban surprise medical bills, force insurers to cover what doctors prescribe, and cap drug prices.
• Capping credit card interest at 10% is next, a direct hit to bank profits while many Americans pay over 20% on cards and about 7.5% on mortgages.
• Stopping illegal border crossings draws broad support, but so does a path to citizenship for long-settled immigrants — even a slim majority of Republicans back it.
• Voters also want limits on Wall Street firms buying up single-family homes, caps on child care costs, and higher taxes on people earning over a million a year.
• Voter ID polls well with Republicans and independents but splits Democrats, who fear it gets used to make voting harder for students, married women, and rural and Native voters.

Outlook: With more rate hikes expected, credit card and mortgage costs will keep climbing, keeping pressure on politicians to act on these pocketbook issues.
