Key Findings
67 percent of likely voters, including 53 percent of Republicans, think billionaires should be paying more in taxes.
Taxing billionaires' unrealized capital gains, as in Sen. Wyden’s Billionaires Income Tax, is hugely popular: 64 percent of voters support the outline of the proposal, compared to only 25 percent opposed.
This support is robust: after hearing arguments against the proposal, only 9 percent of supporters are persuaded to oppose the proposal. In contrast, after hearing arguments for the proposal, 24 percent of opponents are persuaded to support it.
A majority of Republican likely voters, 51 percent, support taxing billionaires' unrealized capital gains after hearing arguments for and against.
