Monmouth University is out with a fresh poll that is likely to cause heartburn among Democrats who may already be anxious about how well President Trump's State of the Union Address was received among the vast majority of viewers, including roughly 70 percent of political independents.
NATIONAL POLL: Support for #TaxReform plan increases.
Extraordinary stat from new Monmouth poll showing support for #TaxReform spiking from 26/47 in Dec to 44/44 now: Only 24% of respondents believe their taxes will drop, and a plurality think their taxes will *rise.
Again, these humongous gains in public perception appear to be almost entirely attributable to the effects of the corporate side of new tax law.
More than two-thirds of respondents think their own taxes will either go up or stay the same, when in fact 80 percent of them will experience a tax cut this year, including 91 percent of the middle class.
Three of the last four national generic ballots have pegged Democrats' lead in the low-to-mid single digits.
President Trump's approval rating in December's Monmouth poll was an abysmal.
Four of the last five nationwide surveys show Trump's job approval rising into the 40's. A majority of respondents said they're at least somewhat optimistic about the policies Trump will pursue as president, and 55 percent said the state of the union is at least somewhat strong - with just 14 percent taking the bleak, Joe Kennedy-esque 'not strong' view.
It's a safe bet that Trump may have helped himself even more on Tuesday night, as more Americans heard his tax reform celebration-slash-reality check.
I'll once again argue that the overriding political priority of every Republican should be to make sure that Americans both notice their tax cuts in the form of ballooning paychecks over the next few months, and understand the causal relationship between those favorable outcomes and their tax law.
