In the battle over another coronavirus stimulus, President Trump’s push for a payroll tax cut easily tops House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s $3 trillion package that includes giving illegal immigrants amnesty and healthcare, according to the latest McLaughlin & Associates survey.
Pollster John McLaughlin told Secrets that the Trump plan “crushes” the Pelosi package approved by the House but now being ignored by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“It just shows how out of touch they are,” McLaughlin said of House Democrats.
He said that 61% disapprove of the Democrat’s 1,800-page HEROES Act to provide Medicare and Medicaid to illegal immigrants for free and that 54% disapprove of granting legal status to illegals in jobs.
And among black and Hispanic voters, 38% of each oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants so they can get jobs, he said in the survey.
Meanwhile, Trump’s package of a payroll tax cut, a meals tax deduction, and a liability shield for businesses is hugely popular. McLaughlin said that even Democrats, by a 50%-36% margin, back it.
“The Republicans have a huge opportunity to show the values difference between Pelosi liberals and mainstream Republicans. This is just basic, where’s your values,” he told Secrets.
