As President Trump turns his attention to tax reform, the latest IBD/TIPP Poll finds that the public strongly supports the provisions he outlined in April, which include sharp cuts to corporate and individual tax rates. Trump also gets solid support for his actions regarding North Korea.
Trump's approval rating climbed in May to 39% from last month's 34%. Trump bolstered support among his base, with his job approval up 10 points among Republicans to 84%, and 6 points to 35% among independents. Among Democrats, his approval rose 2 points to 7%.
The IBD/TIPP Presidential Leadership Index — which includes poll results on favorability, job approval, and leadership — climbed 7% to 42.6, marking the first month-over-month increase since Trump became president.
"The president's recent achievements in foreign affairs have bolstered Americans' view of President Trump as a strong leader," said Raghavan Mayur, president of TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence who directs the IBD/TIPP Poll.

Polls smolls!

I get the feeling they want to move OFF OF obamacare-lite as quickly as possible before they whittle away any more of it.
I honestly believe the Duhmmiecrats are thrilled to death with this bill, and they would have gladly taken this as wonderful if Obama had proposed this exact same thing.
Among Democrats, his approval rose 2 points to 7%.

Supposedly, there are three phases to repeal and replace. Currently, it appears Phase One is half done. The next two phases will cut deeper and better (I hope).
Gosh - what a surprise that folks like the idea of keeping more of their money vs. watching the government flush it down the abyss of a toilet they use. Takes a really huge toilet to make trillions disappear w/o clogging up.
