CNN poll: Most Americans oppose Trump's tax reform plan

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)A slim majority of Americans (52%) oppose President Donald Trump's recent tax reform proposals, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, while only one-third (34%) say they support the Trump plan.

Support is split largely along party lines: eight-in-10 Democrats (81%) say they oppose the plans, but seven-in-10 Republicans (70%) say they support them. Independents break against the proposals: 50% opposed to 35% in favor. About 14% say they don't have an opinion.

Indeed, half of Americans disapprove of the way Trump is handling taxes, the highest level in CNN polling so far, while only 36% say they approve of his job performance on taxes. This is similar to a 34% approve to 47% disapprove split on the issue in September.

After the high-profile failure of legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare, Republicans from Capitol Hill to the White House are eager to chalk up a legislative victory in the coming months.

1. And I bet most of these old white people haven't been informed by Fox News

that $400 billion is being cut from their beloved Medicare.

2. I'm yet to find the 'reform' part. All I see is a massive tax cut to the wealthiest.

3. they always wrap it in 'reform' so everybody thinks they're getting a cut....

and the 'president' has been lying by saying he wants tax cuts for the poor and middle class

4. Anybody who approves of a tax plan from a guy who won't show us his tax forms is a fucking fool
