Public Opposition To The GOP Tax Bill Is Growing: Poll
New poll confirms the American people don’t like the Republican tax scam bill.
A new poll by CNN released Tuesday confirms that the Republican tax bill is remarkably unpopular with the American people.
The poll found that 55 percent of respondents said they opposed the bill compared to just 33 percent who said they support the bill.
And the opposition is growing quickly.
The number of people who oppose the Republican tax bill is up 10 points since November.
Americans don’t believe the GOP tax bill will help the middle class
A key reason for so much opposition to the Republican bill is that the American people aren’t buying the key promise from Donald Trump and his party – that the tax cuts will mostly help the middle class.
Study after study has proven that the vast, vast majority of the benefits of the tax bill will go to the wealthy while the middle class will get little to no benefit – and in many cases, the middle class will see a tax increase.
The CNN poll found that “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.”
About the poll: The CNN Poll was conducted by SSRS December 14-17 among a random national sample of 1,001 adults reached on landlines or cellphones by a live interviewer. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points, it is larger for subgroups.
