Americans surveyed by the U.S. Chamber strongly support pro-growth tax provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The data from respondents to a new poll, weighted to match the U.S. population on key demographics, shows backing for policies that promote business investment, innovation, and job creation.
- "Something may be getting lost in translation when people just describe it as 'one big, beautiful bill' and so we're releasing polling data to really help inform the debate that when you do ask people about the particulars, there's strong support here," U.S. Chamber Executive Vice President Neil Bradley, told Fox Business.
Why it matters: Without action, a historic tax increase was set to occur at the end of 2025, when pro-growth tax provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) would have expired.
- Because of the successful work of Congress and President Trump, the OBBBA empowers businesses to grow, workers to thrive, and communities to prosper.
- By permanently extending pro-growth tax policies, the law ensures that businesses, from Main Street to manufacturers, have the certainty to invest, innovate, and create jobs—strengthening local economies and helping to raise wages for workers.
By the numbers: Strong majorities in the survey support pro-growth provisions that are now law because of the OBBBA:
- 71% of poll respondents are more likely to support a candidate who voted to make the TCJA permanent.
- 65% back permanently extending key pro-growth provisions of the TCJA.
- 62% support permanently allowing businesses to fully expense investments in machinery, equipment, and technology—policies that fuel growth and competitiveness.
- 67% favor permanently restoring the deduction for research and development, driving innovation that benefits consumers and strengthens our economy.
- 64% support permanently restoring the less restrictive deduction for business interest expenses, which would enable companies to grow, hire, and invest in their communities.
What we’re doing: The U.S. Chamber is teaming up with state and local chambers to bring lawmakers and business leaders together. At these roundtables, we’re showing how the permanent, pro-growth tax provisions in the OBBBA will help businesses invest in their communities, create jobs, and raise workers’ wages. These conversations will continue nationwide in the months ahead. |
