A survey commissioned by the Republican National Committee has led the party to a glum conclusion regarding President Donald Trumps signature legislative achievement: Voters overwhelmingly believe his tax overhaul helps the wealthy instead of average Americans.
By a 2-to-1 margin -- 61 percent to 30 percent -- respondents said the law benefits large corporations and rich Americans over middle class families, according to the survey, which was completed on Sept. 2 by the GOP firm Public Opinion Strategies and obtained by Bloomberg News.
The result was fueled by self-identified independent voters who said by a 36-point margin that large corporations and rich Americans benefit more from the tax law -- a result that was even more lopsided among Democrats. Republican voters said by a 38-point margin that the middle class benefits more.
Voters are evenly divided on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the RNC-commissioned report said. But, weve lost the messaging battle on the issue.
