Its been six months since President Donald Trump signed into law the Republican tax cuts. During that time, the measure appears to have become less popular not more. The GOPs big 2018 midterms sales pitch isnt working out exactly how party leaders thought it would, Vox reports.
According to a Monmouth University poll released this week, just 34 percent of Americans said they approve of the Republican tax reform package, compared to 41 percent who disapprove. Thats down from April, when 40 percent of Americans said they approved of the law and 44 percent did not. In January, respondents were evenly split, with 44 percent saying they approved and another 44 percent voicing disapproval of the plan.
Broadly, most polling shows the tax law is more disliked than liked by Americans. A recent Quinnipiac poll found 39 percent of respondents approve of the legislation and 46 percent disapprove of it. An Economist/YouGov poll found a smaller but still negative margin, with 38 percent approving and 40 percent not.

that benefits the top 1% and screws the rest of us? And the best part is they want to use the increasing debt as a reason to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and SS.
