Young Voters Favor Bush Tax Cuts Most

"Young voters ages 18-29 favored tax cuts for everyone by a margin of 69-29, the largest margin of any age group," reports David Goldstein. Overall, the latest McClatchy-Marist poll found that 52% of registered voters support extending the Bush tax rates for all, including the rates on those with incomes over $250,000.  Only 43% would increase tax rates for incomes over $250,000.
Other findings:
  • Latinos favored tax breaks for all incomes by 62% to 36%
  • Whites favored it by 50% to 44%
  • African-Americans split: 47% favored tax breaks for all incomes, while 48% favored higher taxes on those with incomes over $250,000
  • Those earning under $50,000 favored tax breaks for all incomes by a 53% to 41% margin
