Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted January 9th through January 12th of over 1,000 likely general election voters.
“During the Obama era, we battled Lois Lerner’s IRS over their illegal targeting of Obama’s political enemies. After an incredibly hard-fought court battle, we won and the IRS was forced to pay damages. During that battle we had the benefit of help from dozens of people, and donations from many thousands to fuel our effort–but 99% percent of the American people do not have that benefit. Given recent reports that the IRS is targeting low-income Americans–among the most vulnerable in our society–disproportionately, we know almost exactly how the Biden IRS plans to deploy 87,000 new agents,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States. “This data shows the public–regardless of party–is overwhelmingly supportive of the measure forwarded by the House of Representatives to get this reversed.”
