Poll Tracker

A Rasmussen Reports poll showed 57 percent of voters say tax cuts generally help the economy, with 17 percent disagreeing and 1 percent saying they will hurt the economy. Most voters, 56 percent to 23 percent, also believe they pay more than their fair share of taxes, the report said.

Voters in the survey who earn less than $20,000 a year were fairly evenly divided as to whether tax cuts help or hurt, but majorities in all other income brackets see tax cuts as helpful. Those earning $40,000 to $100,000 a year are most likely to see tax cuts as good for the economy.

President Obama promised tax cuts for 95 percent of Americans during his presidential campaign and has included them in his proposed economic recovery plan.
