Tax Bill Is Only as Popular as Trump
February 3, 2018 at 8:49 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Amy Walter: “For all the spinning and posturing there remains a fundamental challenge for the Republicans: the tax bill won’t become more popular unless the president becomes more popular. In fact, if you look at national support for the tax legislation, you will see that it lines up almost exactly with voters’ overall perception of the president.”
“In other words, if you like the president, you like the tax reform legislation. If you don’t like Trump, you either don’t like the bill or you are undecided about it. It is a reminder that whatever the president touches carries his polarizing brand.”
“Even as voters are overwhelmingly positive about the economy, it doesn’t translate to their opinions of the president or the tax law.”
