Poll finds majority of Americans oppose it

A majority of Americans have an unfavorable view of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax policy bill according to a new poll from the nonpartisan health research group KFF.

The bill would extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, implement new tax cuts for tips and overtime, pour billions into the administration’s deportation plans, and make cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. It is expected to be the biggest legislative accomplishment of Trump’s second term if the Republican-led Congress can find the votes to pass it through both chambers and send it to the president’s desk for signature into law.

But 64 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of the proposed bill, which passed the House in May and is currently being tweaked in the Senate, according to the survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation of 1,321 people across the country.

That skews heavily along partisan lines: The vast majority of Democrats (85%) and independents (71%) have an unfavorable opinion of the bill, while 61% of Republicans have a favorable opinion of it.

Among Republicans, support for the bill is further divided between people who identify as supporters of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. Two-thirds of non-MAGA Republicans had an unfavorable view, while 72% of MAGA Republicans had a favorable view.

The survey polled people about the bill in early June, when the only available version was the one that passed by the House in May.

That version of the package would boost defense and immigration enforcement spending, implement more than $2 trillion in income tax breaks, expand the child tax credit and raise the debt ceiling. It would also implement new restrictions on food stamps and Medicaid, including implementing new work requirements for able-bodied adults without children, that would save at least $625 billion and cause 7.6 million Americans to lose their health insurance over the next 10 years, according to initial estimates by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

The Senate released their own version of the bill on June 16, which would make deeper cuts to Medicaid and create more limited versions of Trump’s tax cuts on tips and overtime in an effort to lower the package’s price tag and fund business tax breaks.

The KFF survey also found that around two-thirds of Americans support Medicaid work requirements, including across both parties. A little more than 50% of Democrats support work requirements for adults on Medicaid, while 66% of independents and 88% of Republicans support the proposal.

Another poll from the Washington Post and Ipsos released on June 17 found that 42% of Americans oppose the House-passed tax bill, while 23% of Americans support it. Around a third of Americans said they have no opinion on the package.

Like the KFF poll, the Post found support and opposition for the bill fell along party lines: 49% of Republicans supported the bill, while just 17% of independents and 6% of Democrats did.
