Poll Shows 40% of $100,000-Plus Voters Felt GOP Tax Law Helped Them

Summary
Most Americans — including many Trump voters — are unimpressed by the 2025 GOP tax overhaul, according to a new poll that found voters often prefer funding health care and nutrition aid over additional tax breaks.
More than 40% of voters making over $100,000 said the law helped them, more than twice the share among lower-income voters, reinforcing criticism that the package benefits wealthier households most.
That perception is sharpened by the law’s design: it permanently extends key 2017 GOP tax cuts while making newer relief such as no tax on tips and overtime temporary.
Democrats are tying the tax cuts to billions of dollars in reductions to Medicaid and food assistance, while Republicans argue provisions like tip and overtime deductions and Trump Accounts still give candidates a middle-class message.
