New poll: Dems’ “Inflation Reduction Act” is toxic for Cuellar

August 10, 2022

new poll of Henry Cuellar’s constituents found certain provisions of Democrats’ latest reckless spending bill are wildly unpopular with voters.

  • 54% of respondents said they’d be less likely to vote for Cuellar if he supports a bill that increases taxes on businesses and make inflation worse.
  • 60% of respondents said they’d be less likely to vote for Cuellar if he supports a bill that gives wealthy families a $7,500 tax break to buy “luxury” electric cars.
  • 50% of respondents said they’d be less likely to vote for Cuellar if he supports a bill that doubles the size of the IRS by hiring 80,000 more agents, without hiring a single new border patrol agent.

NRCC Comment: “If Henry Cuellar votes for this bill, he’ll have a tough time explaining to his constituents why he’s funding the IRS but not the Border Patrol.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
