More Bad News for the GOP on their Tax Plan
Before Republicans release their tax bill tomorrow, they might want to take a look at this NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll out today. Among the lowlights for our friends across the aisle: only 25% of Americans think the GOP tax plan is a “good idea.” And there’s more:
“President Trump and congressional Republicans begin their drive to cut taxes with lackluster public support, according to the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.”
“The survey shows that just 25 percent call the Trump tax plan a good idea, while 35 percent call it a bad idea. The remaining 40 percent say they have no opinion.”
“‘For what is a major legislative objective of the president and his party, tax reform is in very mushy shape,’ said Bill McInturff, the Republican pollster who helps produce the NBC/WSJ poll.”
“As the debate gets underway, the poll shows, just 14 percent of Americans believe they'll get a tax cut, while 25 percent expect their taxes to go up.”
“Similarly, just 19 percent of Americans say the tax legislation will significantly improve the economy.”
