Survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted July 9-10, 2012. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points. Results from the poll conducted January 9-10, 2012 are in parentheses.
Inside the numbers:
Voters are almost evenly divided over whether the so-called Bush tax cuts should be extended permanently for all Americans or for everyone except the wealthy, 47% to 44% respectively.
But 87% of Tea Party members believe those tax cuts should be extended for all. Among those with no ties to the movement, a plurality (49%) favors extending the tax cuts for everyone but the wealthy.
Similarly, 34% of all voters feel the Bush tax cuts should be extended permanently, while just as many (35%) believe they should only be extended temporarily until the economy improves. Twenty percent (20%) think the tax cuts should expire at the end of the year as scheduled.
Again, while 70% of those who are a part of the Tea Party movement believe the tax cuts should be extended permanently, just 29% of non-Tea Party members agree.
