Washington, D.C. – Today, as House Republicans move forward with a vote on their budget resolution to give trillions in tax breaks to billionaires by slashing programs Americans rely on, Families Over Billionaires released a new poll with Hart Research showing the overwhelming majority of voters – including Trump supporters – strongly oppose both tax cuts for billionaires and cuts to essential services like Medicaid and nutrition assistance.

Semafor: Voters’ tax skepticism (Kadia Goba)
Nearly half of Trump voters think the wealthy pay too little in taxes, according to a survey conducted by Hart Research last week for the nonprofit Families over Billionaires and first shared with Semafor. Even more — 56% — believe the same of large corporations. Meanwhile, the House is considering a budget resolution that would in part pave the way for the renewal of Trump’s tax cuts, a permanent extension of which analysis shows would benefit the highest earners. The ambitious package has also fueled a contentious debate about how to pay for it, and whether to cut a program as popular as Medicaid to make up the gap. According to the poll, 71% of Trump voters say cutting Medicaid is unacceptable, and 60% say the same about SNAP benefits, another program the House GOP has eyed for cuts.
