ICYMI: Internal GOP Poll: 'We've Lost the Messaging Battle' on Tax Cuts

[bearsfootball516]

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.

By a 2-to-1 margin -- 61 percent to 30 percent -- respondents said the law benefits “large corporations and rich Americans” over “middle class families,” according to the survey, which was completed on Sept. 2 by the GOP firm Public Opinion Strategies and obtained by Bloomberg News.

The result was fueled by self-identified independent voters who said by a 36-point margin that large corporations and rich Americans benefit more from the tax law -- a result that was even more lopsided among Democrats. Republican voters said by a 38-point margin that the middle class benefits more.

“Voters are evenly divided on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” the RNC-commissioned report said. “But, we’ve lost the messaging battle on the issue.”

2. Maybe because we all know they're a giveaway to the wealthy and nothing more.

3. "We've lost the message" is Repub-speak for "They're on to our lies"...

4. What do they expect? You do a survey now of folks who bring home a regular paycheck...

and asked them if they are doing better. In my personal polls of friends, most of them will say very little and what little there was, it's not enough to cover the regular stuff since prices have been going up. Can't debate w/ this glaring and true fact.

7. $18 extra in your paycheck doesn't help when your health insurance is up $36.

8. GOP needs another poll

They should poll Americans to find out how many consider the Republican party to be the Gangsters Of Putin, i.e., traitors.
