HALF OF AMERICANS AGREE with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's comments that corporations are giving their workers "crumbs" as a result of the tax bill, according to a poll released Friday by a group aligned with President Donald Trump.
America First Priorities, found 49 percent of respondents agreed with the California Democrat, whose remarks pointed out the disparity in the windfall companies received in December with the passage of a major tax cut compared to the comparatively small bonuses they're handing out to their employees.
"In terms of the bonus that corporate America received versus the crumbs that they are giving to workers to kind of put the schmooze on is so pathetic. It's so pathetic," Pelosi said in a Jan. 11 news conference. "And I would hope that with their big advantage of bringing money home at a very low rate, that they would invest in infrastructure and things. But our experience has been that they will do dividends. They will do stock buybacks and things like that. I think it's insignificant."
Trump and congressional Republicans have seized on Pelosi's remarks in an effort to make them this year's version of Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" – a disparaging reference to Trump supporters that Republicans effectively used to rally their base during the presidential campaign.
The America First Priorities poll, which was conducted Feb. 16-20, also found 44 percent of respondents approved of Trump's job as president, while 53 percent disapproved.

Must suck going from a checkout-counter institution to a bankrupt pamphlet for the DNC.
Fake poll.
As usual, heavily D+ oversampled.
The surprise is half of Americans still like the tax cut and Trump’s approval rating has rebounded.
If only they did an honest poll, the numbers would look a lot different.
Just usual push poll fodder. GIGO.
What BS.
If the Left wants to run claiming that Trump’s tax cuts are ‘crumbs’, I sure as hell hope the Republicans are cable of AMPLIFYING that message.
Polls. All of your other news is fake, but your polls are honest. Sure.
Let’s not in our hate of Nancy reject the idea that more tax cuts should follow.
Yes, but half of all Americans think Tide pods are canapés. I propose a lifetime voting ban for pod-eaters. R's would never lose another election.
I will get the crumbs and /i like the size of the crumbs. Sut Commie Pelosi!
Pro-Trump? Yeah, sure.
I’ll believe whatever the fake news media says.
It’s not that difficult to recognize propaganda dished out by the main stream media unless your eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacking on it at the local airport between meals.
U.S News is full of Cow Sh**!!!
Must be the half that doesn’t pay taxes complaining about crumbs.
Polling no doubt done on the human feces covered streets SF.
Consider the source.
Well, it’s only 2 percent more than the 47Percenters
Maybe it does sound like crumbs to wealthy liberals and moochers who get their money for free.
Perhaps polls like this should be limited to people who actually have a job or business, work for their living and pay taxes.
Maybe they sampled the 40% who pay no taxes ...
What was Nanners Tax Cut proposal?
This is likely that half of Americans who don’t pay taxes and thus will not get a refund... I.E. The very rich and the poor. The people who actually work, pay taxes and vote are happy and that’s all that counts.
