More than 40% of our adults have objected to the Republican “Big and Beautiful Act,” legislation for President Trump’s tax cuts and spending priorities.
Washington-IPSOS poll released Tuesday showed 42% of respondents said they “somewhat” or “strongly” opposed the legislation, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid, expanded Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and raised debt limits.
According to the survey, another 23% said they were “strongly” or “some” supported the bill, while 34% said they had “no comment.”
Republicans are more likely to support the bill than Democrats. Only 50% of Republican respondents said they support the big giants, 13% opposed, and 38% had no objection. On the other hand, according to the polls, three-quarters of Democrats said they objected.
About 40% of independents also object to the expenditure scheme, while 17% support it. Another 40% said they had no objection to the bill, the survey showed.
The result is after the Senate unveiled its version of the bill on Monday. The blueprint for the upper room is similar to the bill passed by the household, but includes a steep cut to welfare programs that make corporate tax cuts permanent in 2017, with most stages lowering renewable energy-energy tax cuts, which were reduced under the Biden administration.
The legislative text released by Republicans in the Senate Finance Committee represents the center of the president’s “big and beautiful bill” and has tax damage from Trump’s campaign, including provisions to protect lean income from taxes.
When asked about the news of the home version proposed in May, more and more respondents seemed to be in the dark. The poll found that about 40% said they heard “a little bit”, 26% said they didn’t hear “nothing”, 11% said “a lot”, and 23% said “a lot”.

“The choice is clear: Americans will see the biggest tax cuts in history if a big bill passes,” the White House Quick Response Team wrote on social platform X on Tuesday.
It added: “If a big beauty bill doesn’t pass, Americans will see the biggest tax hike in history.”
Legislators have only more than two weeks to negotiate to pass the bill with a custom deadline of July 4.
