67 Percent of Voters Support Progressive Income Tax Increases to Resolve Budget Deficit

A new Quinnipiac Poll found voters support 71 - 27 percent raising the state income tax for individuals making at least $265,000 per year and couples making at least $500,000. The measure wins 90 - 9 percent support from Democrats and 71 - 26 percent support from independent voters, while Republicans oppose it 57 - 40 percent.

90 percent of democrats, 71 percent of independents, and 40 percent of republicans represents a clear mandate!
