President Trump's plan to overhaul the U.S. tax code is supported by fewer than a third of American adults, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Just 28 percent of those surveyed in the Reuters/Ipsos poll said they would support the "tax reform plan recently proposed by congressional Republicans,” compared to 41 percent who said they opposed it. Another 31 percent had no opinion yet of the GOP plan.

That number is deeply split among party lines. The plan is supported by 56 percent of Republicans but only 9 percent of Democrats.

In particular, many Americans are concerned about tax relief for the poor. Sixty-eight percent of Democrats and 47 percent of Republicans said that tax cuts for lower-income Americans should be prioritized over deficit reduction.

2. Nothing to worry about

The lobbyists for whatever is getting axed are going to kill this. It will be another GOP failure, just like replace and repeal.
