Support for the Republican tax plan has ticked up slightly since President Donald Trump signed it into law, but it still hasn’t drawn the backing of a majority of voters, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.
The GOP’s top selling point for the plan recently — a spate of employee bonuses and wage increases — was a wash in the poll.
The tracking poll, conducted Jan. 11-16, found that a 45 percent plurality of voters backed the plan based on what they knew about it, up from 42 percent in a similar poll before the legislation was enacted on Dec. 22. Opposition in the new poll came in at 34 percent, down from 39 percent. Twenty percent of respondents were undecided, up from 18 percent.
After respondents were told about the major provisions of the bill, support rose to 47 percent, opposition remained at 34 percent.

That's suicidal. Lots of people have no clue and are therefore easily susceptible to propaganda.
