Trump promised tax relief, but polling shows most Americans still think they’re overpaying
Despite President Trump's tax law enacted last year, which included tax breaks like a boosted child tax credit, recent polls indicate that most Americans still believe their taxes are too high. A Fox News poll shows increased tax concerns compared to last year, particularly among liberal voters, Democratic men, moderates, rural voters, and white voters without a degree.

Briefing Summary
AI-generatedDespite President Trump's tax law enacted last year, which included tax breaks like a boosted child tax credit, recent polls indicate that most Americans still believe their taxes are too high. A Fox News poll shows increased tax concerns compared to last year, particularly among liberal voters, Democratic men, moderates, rural voters, and white voters without a degree. This frustration stems from rising inflation and sluggish economic growth, leading to concerns about personal finances. Many Americans also believe that wealthy individuals and corporations are not paying their fair share, and worry about government waste. While Republicans tout the tax law as beneficial for working families, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the largest benefits will go to the wealthiest Americans, and higher prices may offset any gains for many households.
