Congressional Republicans anxious about the midterm elections are breathing a little easier, for the moment, after fresh public opinion polls showed an uptick in voter support for their $1.4 trillion tax overhaul.
The New York Times/Survey Monkey poll pegged support for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act at 46 percent, with 49 percent disapproving. Thirty-eight percent approved in a Marist survey for NPR and PBS's NewsHour. In a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, support for the bill climbed 6 points to 30 percent.
All told, these ratings represent an improvement from the barely one quarter of American voters who supported the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in late December when the package cleared Congress on a narrow, party-line vote (all Democrats voted “noâ€) and was signed by President Trump.
