Dueling Poll Results

A recent EPIC-MRA poll mirrored many results from Detroit Renaissance's poll on the public's support for budget cuts and major reform as the path to balance the State budget. But, the EPIC-MRA poll indicated far more support for a graduated income tax and less support for cutting business taxes than our poll. The differences are due to the way the questions were asked, with the new poll down-laying what a graduated income tax would mean and dramatizing how business would avoid paying their fair share of taxes. We issued a press release identifying similarities and differences in the poll results.
