They voted against Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ and now the GOP wants them to pay at the polls.
A new survey from President Donald Trump’s top pollster is fueling attacks on vulnerable House Democrats.
The Fabrizio Lee poll, first released to Punchbowl News, showed a number of elements of Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” extending tax cuts to be widely popular. That’s the polling firm run by Tony Fabrizio, a top Trump pollster who is also working with other high-profile Florida campaigns.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) cited the poll in attacks against numerous Democrats who voted against the legislation in Congress, including U.S. Reps. Jared Moskowitz and Darren Soto.
Emails from the NRCC highlight several findings, including that 72% of survey respondents support stricter work requirements for Medicaid, 63% support ending taxes on tips and 61% want tax cuts first passed in Trump’s first term to be made permanent.
“Out of touch Darren Soto’s vote against these commonsense, popular policies is a major liability. Soto voted against lower taxes, safer streets, and critical benefits for his constituents — voters know it, and they’ll hold him accountable for it,” read a statement from NRCC spokesperson Maureen O’Toole.
