A new ABC News/Washington Post poll released today reveals that despite what President-elect Donald Trump has said regarding the American publics interest in seeing his tax returns, the vast majority of people would like for him to release the documents.
Per the survey, 74% of respondents said the incoming POTUS should show his tax returns. 93% of of Hillary Clinton supporters were in favor of this as were 83% of independents. Even 49% of Trump voters feel he needs to release the returns.
The poll also covered some of the concerns over Trumps compliance with ethics laws and guidelines. 43% feel the soon-to-be president is doing enough right now to comply with ethics laws compared to 44% who believe he isnt. 52% state that Trumps proposed plan to have his sons manage his businesses is sufficient while 42% state that Trump should sell his businesses. As one would expect, these divide largely on partisan lines.
Regarding his tax returns, Trump has long insisted that they have been under audit and thus he is unable to make them public, repeating this claim at his long-awaited press conference last week. He also told reporters at the presser that they are the only ones interested in seeing the returns, saying the public didnt care at all (He said the same thing during the campaign.)
