Damn straight it will.
ATI-News/Zogby asked likely voters: “Do you think that Barack Obama’s plan
to increase taxes on businesses and the wealthy will make you better or worse
off?”
The results are astounding. Fifty-two percent of voters think Obama’s tax
plan would make them worse off, while only 36 percent think it would make them
better off. A majority of Independents (52 percent) and women (51 percent) say
“worse off” as do 25 percent of Democrats, and 22 percent of self-described
Liberals. Surprisingly, 18 percent of Obama’s own supporters said his tax plan
would make them worse off.
In addition, a majority of voters in all regions of the country felt they
would be worse off as opposed to better off, especially the swing state rich
Central region (53 percent). Even 52 percent of young voters aged 18-29, a key
voter group for Obama, feel they’d be worse off. A majority in every income
group also felt they’d be worse off under Obama’s tax plan, including a
majority of those Americans making less than $25,000 per year.
“This poll clearly shows that a majority of voters, including
Independents, women and lower-income Americans, think that if Obama’s tax plan
is put into effect it will cause them personal economic pain,” said O’Leary.
