NYT/Survey Monkey Poll: Nation Now Supports Republican Tax Reform Law
Recovery Summer-- this time for real.
Support is at 51% overall (up from 37% in December), 89% among Republicans and 19% among Democrats.
Trump recently touted a poll from last week or so, showing Republicans now with a three point lead
in the congressional midterms.
Trump was likely referring to a poll earlier this month from the pollster McLaughlin & Associates that found Democrats ahead on a generic ballot for U.S. Congress by 45 percent compared to 42 percent.
Analysts believe the Republicans' increasing odds of holding the House are mostly due to a single Russian troll calling himself Johnny Eaglestallion who posts confusing memes of Jesus cutting corporate tax rates with a lightsaber.
