Fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans favor an across-the-board tax cut for all Americans to stimulate the U.S. economy, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Thirty-four percent (34%) oppose such a tax cut, and 15% are undecided.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of both Republicans and adults not affiliated with either major political party think an across-the-board tax cut is a good idea. Democrats are fairly evenly divided on the wisdom of such a tax cut.
During Election 2008, then-candidate Obama promised to cut taxes for 95% of all Americans. So far, just 26% of adults believe President Obama has delivered on that promise. Forty-three percent (43%) say he has not and 31% are not sure.
Democrats are more likely than others to believe the President has delivered on the tax cut promise.
And that last would be because Democrats, on the whole, are likely to be even dumber than Obama. More importantly, we’re starting to see indicators that a supply-side, tax-cutting program will resonate well with voters in 2010 and 2012. Just takes a bit of warmed-over Carterism to bring America back to its senses, it would seem.
