The headline says it all. As Republicans prepare to vote on the GOP tax scam, it’s clear more Americans dislike the bill with each passing day. Disapproval of the bill has grown by 10 points in just a month. Maybe that’s because the bill cuts taxes on the wealthy and corporations while raising taxes on millions of middle class families and exploding the deficit by $1.5 trillion.
But that’s just a guess. Take a look at CNN’s polling
released this morning:

With the House of Representatives likely to take up the Republican tax reform bill Tuesday, the plan faces growing opposition and a widespread perception that it will benefit the wealthy more than the middle class, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
Opposition to the bill has grown 10 points since early November, and 55% now oppose it. Just 33% say they favor the GOP's proposals to reform the nation's tax code.
Two-thirds see the bill as doing more to benefit the wealthy than the middle class (66%, vs. 27% who say it'll do more to benefit the middle class) and almost four in 10 (37%) say that if the bill becomes law, their own family will be worse off. That's grown five points since early November. Just 21% say they'll be better off if the bill becomes law. | | | |
