Poll: Majority of Americans not seeing change in paychecks due to tax cuts
The Hill ^ | 3/28/18 | Rebecca Savransky

A majority of Americans is not yet seeing President Trump's tax cuts reflected in their paychecks, according to a new poll.

A CNBC All-America Economic Survey finds 52 percent of respondents say they haven't seen a change.

Just 32 percent of respondents report taking home more money due to the tax cuts, which Trump signed into law late last year.

Of that percentage, 38 percent say the extra pay they helps them a "great deal" or a "fair amount." Another 40 percent say the extra pay helps "some" or "just a little" and 22 percent report that the extra pay "does not help much at all."

The poll was conducted from March 17 to 20 among 800 Americans. Its margin of error is 3.5 percent.

The Treasury Department and IRS released new guidance earlier this year that adjusted the amounts that companies set aside from their employees' paychecks for federal taxes.

Employers were instructed to adopt the new withholding tables by Feb. 15.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said that 90 percent of wage earners would see bigger paychecks due to the guidance.

They seem to be hiding the internals, other than:

1) Polled 800
2) Polled Americans

Without knowing any other internals, it is impossible to know why they got such a low number of people who have seen take-home pay increases.

Because they are hiding the numbers and the questions, I call BS on this poll.

I call suspect on this article. Most everyone I know got an increase in take home pay starting in February. Depends on when they took the “poll”.

A majority of ***Non Americans*** is not yet seeing President Trump’s tax cuts reflected in their paychecks.

Welfare isn’t a job.

BS......................

Agreed. I told my hubby that Trump was saying everyone was going to see more money in their paycheck. He was skeptical. But, when he opened his pay after the tax cut kicked in, he was pleasantly surprised. And, we are in a category that the media would consider to be "rich". (I often tell hubby that if we are rich, we should be dressing better.)

3) CNBC Poll

Agree. It is EXTREMELY weak and, as you suggest, they are hiding information.
