Except for a couple months of sanguine optimism early this year, the Republican tax cuts for the rich have pretty consistently been a bust with voters. But new polling shows that as the year wears on, public perception of the GOP tax law continues to tank. Vox writes:
According to a Monmouth University poll released this week, just 34 percent of Americans said they approve of the Republican tax reform package, compared to 41 percent who disapprove. That’s down from April, when 40 percent of Americans said they approved of the law and 44 percent did not. In January, respondents were evenly split, with 44 percent saying they approved and another 44 percent voicing disapproval of the plan.
Right. From 44 percent approval to 40 percent to 34 percent—jeez, at that rate, it will fall roughly 8 more points by November. If you don't see a whole lot of positive GOP ads about all of their big Congressional coups over the coming months, you'll know why.
