Headline of the Day
There are a lot of bad headlines for the GOP this morning after they had to postpone the release of their tax bill due to deep disagreements amongst themselves, but they probably really hate this one: One Big Problem for Trump’s Tax Plan? It’s Already Unpopular.
“House Republicans are facing a major disadvantage with their tax plan, even before they delayed the rollout of their bill by one day.”
“Their plan starts out underwater, according to our latest NBC/WSJ poll — and by about the same margin as the poll's first track of George W. Bush's failed effort to partially privatize Social Security.”
“In this new NBC/WSJ poll, 25 percent call Trump’s tax plan a good idea, versus 35 percent who call it a bad idea (-10).”
“Indeed, 25 percent of respondents in the poll say they’ll pay more in taxes under the plan, 14 percent say they’ll pay less and 21 percent say they’ll pay about the same. Forty percent say they don’t know enough about the plan.”
“In addition, only 19 percent think the plan will improve the economy ‘a great deal’ or ‘quite a bit,’ compared with a combined 66 percent who answer ‘just some’ or ‘not at all.’”
