Donald Trump's promise to end taxes on Social Security income is the most popular economic proposal from both presidential candidates, a new poll has found.
A new ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted between October 4 to 8 among 2,631 adults has found that Trump's promise to end taxes levied on Social Security benefits is the most popular economic proposal of the 2024 presidential campaign, with 55 percent of those responding strongly supporting the idea, and 85 percent supporting the proposal overall.
Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris' economic proposals—that are unrelated to Social Security—are also proving popular with voters, albeit less than that of her political opponent.
The poll found that her pledge to boost child tax credits for middle-class and low-income families is popular with 71 percent of those surveyed, while her plans to limit the amount of profit made by food companies on groceries were backed by 65 percent.
During an interview on Fox & Friends in early August, the former president said: "We can do a lot of things to help the people. People on Social Security are being killed, and one of the things I'm doing is no tax for seniors on Social Security, and I'll get it done quickly."
