Polls Show Most Americans Still Say Taxes Are Too High

Polls found 7 in 10 registered voters say their taxes are too high, while disapproval of Trump’s handling of taxes rose to 64%, Fox News said.

  • A recent I&I/TIPP poll of 1,464 adults conducted March 31–April 2 found 40% of Americans expect to pay higher taxes this year, with many perceiving the federal tax code as fundamentally unfair.
  • Despite the tax and spending cut legislation President Donald Trump enacted last year, many households report their tax refunds are being consumed by higher prices, while the Congressional Budget Office estimated the law would provide the largest benefits to the wealthiest earners.
  • Separate surveys from Fox News and Gallup reveal roughly seven in 10 registered voters say their taxes are "too high," while nearly half of Americans, 49%, describe current income taxes as "not fair."
  • Public disapproval of how Trump handles taxes reached 64% in the Fox News poll, a sharp increase from 53% last April that reflects rising frustration among independents and the president's party.
  • While the nonpartisan Tax Foundation estimates the typical taxpayer will see a $2,300 tax cut in 2026, persistent public unease regarding personal finances persists amid a spike in inflation and sluggish economic growth.
