Trump Out of Step with Voters on Key Issues

A new Quinnipiac poll finds that President Trump’s policy agenda is not very popular with most American voters:

• 62% to 31% are against reducing taxes across the board, even if it increases the deficit
• 51% to 38% are against restarting the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines
• 76% to 18% are against lowering taxes on the wealthy
• 50% to 43% are against lowering taxes on businesses and corporations
• 54% to 34% are against removing regulations on businesses and corporations
• 63% to 27% are against removing specific regulations intended to combat climate change
• 54% to 43% are against repealing the Affordable Care Act
• 60% to 37% are against building the wall on the Mexican border, with 65% to 33% against the wall if the U.S. must pay for it

Said pollster Tim Malloy: “He rattled the rafters with bold calls for pipelines and tax cuts, a big wall and a new health care plan. But while his base may be eating it up, a broad portion of the electorate is telling President Trump there is a big difference between campaign bravado and an agenda that works for all Americans.”
