Uh Oh: Internal GOP poll reveals a lot of bad news bears for Republicans
 
A survey commissioned by the Republican National Committee has led the party to a glum conclusion regarding President Donald Trump’s signature legislative achievement: Voters overwhelmingly believe his tax overhaul helps the wealthy instead of average Americans.

A private survey conducted for the Republican National Committee and obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek contains alarming news for Republicans hoping to hold on to control of Congress in November: Most Trump supporters don’t believe there’s a threat that Democrats will win back the House.

President Trump likes to mock Nancy Pelosi, but a private survey conducted for the Republican National Committee finds that she’s actually more popular—and beats the president when the midterm election is framed as a contest between the two.

The tax cut just isn't very popular. People see through the trickle down bullshit.

The average person making $150K or less a year will end up getting about a 4% tax cut. Not bad until you consider in my state inflation rose 3.6% in 2016 which basically negates the tax cut. Add in higher gas prices, higher costs of some goods due to all the winning we are doing with tariffs and people just aren't seeing the money.

The only major Republican accomplishment was give huge tax breaks to the rich and raise our deficit 32% in one year.

#winning.

Accurate. But the root problem here is that however republicans or democrats tinker with the tax code, we live in an economic system where the three richest Americans are allowed to hoard as much wealth as the bottom 50% of Americans. Three individuals control wealth equivalent to 160+ Million people. This is amoral.

Not to mention the added costs from tarrifs..

TBH though, the average household doesn't make $150k a year much less average person.

I never understood the Republicans using Pelosi as a boogywoman. Anyone who knows who she is and sees her being in a position of power as a terrible thing was likely never going to vote for anyone but a Republican to begin with so, to me, it seems like a lot of wasted effort that doesn't gain them very many new voters.
