August 30, 2010 Majority of Americans Say Their Taxes Will be Too High if Bush Tax Cuts Are Allowed to ExpireWashington, D.C. - A majority of American voters say they'll be paying too much in taxes if the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire at the end of this year, according to a recent poll by Zogby International. The Poll was conducted August 20-23 and surveyed 2,062 likely voters. The Poll asked:
A majority of voters (54%) say they will be paying too much in taxes, while 32% say they will be paying the right amount. Only 6% say they won't be paying enough in taxes. Among Independent voters, 57% say they will be paying too much in taxes, should the Bush tax cuts expire, and just 26% say they'll be paying the right amount. Just 6% of Independents say they won't be paying enough. An overwhelming majority of Tea Party supporters (96%) and small business owners (64%) say they'll be forced to pay too much in taxes. Just 2% of Tea Party supporters say they'll be paying the right amount, and 1% say not enough. Only 23% of small business owners say they'll be paying the right amount, and 8% say not enough. Among voters who had to pay federal income taxes last year, 58% say they would have to pay too much in taxes, 32% say they would be paying the right amount, and just 5% say they wouldn't be paying enough. Surprisingly, among those voters who did not have to pay federal income taxes last year - either because their income level was below the taxable threshold, or their deductions negated any tax liability - 42% said they'd be paying too much should the Bush tax cuts expire, 36% say they would be paying the right amount, and 8% say not enough. The Zogby International poll was commissioned by The O'Leary Report newsletter. The Poll surveyed 2,062 likely voters August 20-23, and has a margin-of-error of plus-or-minus 2.2 percentage points.
