Americans see big pain in Trump's 'Booty full Bill'

As Senate Republicans return to Washington this week to adjust the destructive tax bill that House Republicans passed before the Memorial Day holiday, multiple polls show they are struggling to get voters behind the package, which will kick millions off Medicaid and food assistance, among other unnecessary harms.

A new YouGov poll for CBS News finds that a plurality of Americans (47%) think the legislation, if enacted, will hurt middle-class people, and a majority (54%) thinks it will hurt poor people. Additionally, a plurality of 43% say the bill will hurt them and their family.

What's more, the poll finds that Republican lies about the bill's impact on people's health insurance and the national deficit have not been convincing. Half of Americans (50%) think the legislation would "decrease how many Americans have health insurance.” Another 55% think the bill would increase the deficit—the part of the bill that led to President Donald Trump’s ugly breakup with former co-President Elon Musk.

Meanwhile, a Navigator Research survey released Friday found that 52% of likely voters living in House battleground districts oppose the version of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that House Republicans passed—45% of whom oppose it strongly.
