A new RNC survey has led Republicans “to a glum conclusion regarding President Trump’s signature legislative achievement: Voters overwhelmingly believe his tax overhaul helps the wealthy instead of average Americans,” Bloomberg reports.
Key finding: “By a 2-to-1 margin — 61% to 30% — respondents said the law benefits ‘large corporations and rich Americans’ over ‘middle class families.’”
“The result was fueled by self-identified independent voters who said by a 36-point margin that large corporations and rich Americans benefit more from the tax law — a result that was even more lopsided among Democrats. Republican voters said by a 38-point margin that the middle class benefits more.”

A new SuffolkUniversity/Boston Globe poll finds that 58% of likely Massachusetts voters said they don’t think Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) should run for president.
Said pollster David Paleologos: “This was a shocking finding to me, given that Democrats like her so much, and she has been making moves to run for president. I would have expected her to be leading this list of potential Massachusetts presidential candidates.”
So this may be the best poll of the cycle: Internal GOP Poll: Pelosi Beats Trump in a Head-to-Head Matchup
