13%
The American people don’t want what House Republicans are selling. In an ABC/Washington Post poll out this morning, only 13% of Americans think the GOP tax bill will help the middle class. Not to mention that 60% of Americans believe the plan is a windfall for the wealthiest Americans (which it is).

“‘A giant tax cut for Christmas,’ President Donald Trump promised the American people.”
“What’s not clear yet is whether the public wants this gift as much as Republican representatives.”
“The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, conducted Sunday through Wednesday, hints at the sales job ahead. Sixty percent of Americans think the tax plan will primarily benefit the wealthy, with only 13 percent buying the argument that it mainly helps the middle class; 17 percent say they think the bill would treat everyone equally.”
“Fifty percent oppose the plan, amid indications that it’s not being helped by associations with Trump. Slightly more than half of independents say they oppose the bill ... and this was before the details were unveiled today.”
“Meanwhile, the GOP is still divided, with the president’s political goals running squarely up against congressional policy plans. With a distracted salesman-in-chief set to spend a dozen days several time zones away, Republicans will need to focus on finding a constituency for their new bill.”
