Meanwhile, a Morning Consult poll finds that about half of respondents think his one-pager is a “good place to start.” However, while two-thirds favor tax cuts for child care and small business and doubling the standard deduction, less than 40 percent back a 15 percent corporate tax rate. Nearly half say they would not support a tax bill that adds to the deficit.
