January 12, 2022: During the Trump administration, Congress passed temporary tax cuts for businesses and families. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of voters favor making the Trump tax cuts permanent. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 24% are opposed and 19% are not sure.[1]

The totals include 31% who strongly favor making the tax cuts permanent and 14% who are strongly opposed.[1]

Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Republicans favor making the Trump tax cuts permanent. Independent voters, by a 45% to 21% margin, agree. Democrats are evenly divided.[1]

Younger voters are less supportive of tax cuts than their elders. Still, by a 47% to 26% margin, voters under 35 would like to see the Trump tax cuts made permanent.[1]
