距离报税截止日期仅剩一周,最新福克斯新闻民调显示,创纪录比例的选民认为自己的税赋过高。他们还对富人未缴足公平份额税款以及政府如何使用纳税人资金感到不满。此外,四分之三的选民认为政府开支存在浪费——较去年上升了近20个百分点。
去年,57%的选民认为大量(44%)或几乎全部(13%)政府开支效率低下;如今这一比例上升了18个百分点,达到75%(其中53%认为大量开支低效,22%认为几乎全部低效)。
福克斯新闻民调:对人工智能的广泛焦虑并未波及就业
认为政府开支浪费的人群比例上升现象出现在大多数人口群体中,其中民主党和无党派选民的涨幅最大。75%的共和党人认为政府开支浪费,较2025年3月的八成以上有所下降。
选民对特朗普政府识别和削减浪费性政府开支的表现也不满意,近三分之二(64%)的人认为其 efforts 仅算一般(20%)或糟糕(44%),较去年3月的56%有所上升(当时仅13%认为表现一般,43%认为糟糕)。
尽管两党广泛认同有大量政府开支存在浪费和低效现象——约四分之三的民主党人、共和党人和无党派选民持此观点,但在特朗普政府识别和削减此类浪费的表现上出现了明显的党派分歧:几乎所有民主党人(90%)和绝大多数无党派选民(80%)认为其表现不佳,而70%的共和党人(69%)给出了正面评价。
创纪录的70%选民认为自己缴纳的税赋过高——较去年3月上升11个百分点,超过了2024年3月64%的此前最高纪录。这也是2004年首次提出该问题以来最大的同比涨幅,当时51%的选民认为税赋过高。多数选民一直认为自己的税收负担过重。
福克斯新闻民调:不满选民认为华盛顿脱离民众
与去年相比,对自身缴税金额担忧程度上升最明显的群体包括:拥有研究生学历的选民(较2025年上升24个百分点)、极自由派选民(上升20个百分点)、民主党男性选民(上升19个百分点)、温和派选民(上升19个百分点)、农村选民(上升17个百分点)、无大学学历的白人选民(上升16个百分点)以及45岁以上女性选民(上升16个百分点)。
人们对联邦所得税最不满的点在于富人缴税不足(38%),尽管这一数字较去年创下的45%历史高位略有下降。紧随其后的是担忧政府如何使用纳税人税款,较去年上升3个百分点,达到29%。
其他不满点包括缴税金额过高(14%)、感觉太多人未缴足税款(10%)以及税制复杂(9%)。
民主党人(57%)和无党派选民(40%)最不满的是富人缴税不足,而共和党人最主要的不满点则是政府的资金使用方式(39%)。
“数据表明,民主党为何始终将预算、开支和税收政策问题框架为富人应缴公平份额的税款,”负责福克斯新闻民调的共和党人达伦·肖说道,他与民主党人克里斯·安德森共同开展此次民调。“鉴于公众对政府表现持怀疑态度,这是民主党在这些议题上保持竞争力的少数途径之一。”
对特朗普总统处理税收问题的不支持率达到创纪录的64%,较去年上升11个百分点。

整体不满情绪均有所上升,包括民主党人(较2025年4月不支持率上升9个百分点)、无党派选民(上升14个百分点)和共和党人(上升9个百分点)。
还有一件事……
人工智能的使用量正在上升,但并未用于报税。
近九成选民(87%)表示今年不会使用人工智能协助报税,约一成(13%)的人表示会使用或已经使用过。最有可能使用人工智能报税的人群包括:45岁以下的共和党人(29%)、30岁以下选民(23%)、西班牙裔选民(21%)、黑人选民(20%)以及在职选民(19%)。
本次民调于2026年3月20日至23日进行,由比肯研究公司(民主党方)和肖与公司研究公司(共和党方)指导实施。此次福克斯新闻调查随机选取了全国选民档案中的1001名登记选民作为样本。受访者通过固定电话(104人)、手机(641人)接受现场访谈,或在收到短信后在线完成调查(256人)。基于全样本的结果抽样误差幅度为±3个百分点。针对子群体的结果抽样误差更高。除抽样误差外,问题措辞和顺序可能会影响调查结果。通常会对年龄、种族、教育程度和地区变量进行加权处理,以确保人口结构能够代表登记选民群体。权重目标的制定依据包括最新的美国社区调查、福克斯新闻选民分析和选民档案数据。
Fox News Poll: Record number say taxes are too high; government spending seen as wasteful
April 8, 2026 6:00pm EDT / Fox News
Voters reveal that the rich not paying enough taxes and wasteful government spending are their top tax frustrations

Kat Timpf: As a taxpayer, I don’t want to see my government spending time on this
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the ‘Gutfeld!’ panel discuss Pennsylvania House Democrats withdrawing consideration of a Women’s Month resolution after a Republican lawmaker filed an amendment to include the definition of a ‘woman.’

With the deadline to file taxes a week away, a record number of voters say their taxes are too high, according to the latest Fox News Poll. They are also bothered by the rich not paying their fair share and how the government uses their money. In addition, three-quarters feel government spending is wasteful — up almost 20 points since last year.
Last year, 57% said a great deal (44%) or almost all (13%) of government spending was inefficient; now that’s up 18 points, with 75% feeling that way (53% a great deal, 22% almost all).
FOX NEWS POLL: BROAD ANXIETY ABOUT AI DOESN’T EXTEND TO JOBS
The increase in those thinking spending is wasteful is seen among most demographics, with the biggest bumps among Democrats and independents. Three-quarters of Republicans think government spending is wasteful, down from more than 8 in 10 in March 2025.
Voters are also down on how the Trump administration has handled identifying and cutting wasteful government spending, with nearly two-thirds, 64%, calling their efforts only fair (20%) or poor (44%), up from 56% last March (13% only fair, 43% poor).
While there is broad bipartisan agreement that a significant share of government spending is wasteful and inefficient — with roughly three-quarters of Democrats, Republicans, and independents saying so — a sharp partisan divide emerges on the Trump administration’s handling of identifying and cutting that waste: nearly all Democrats (90%) and a large majority of independents (80%) say it is not doing a good job, while 7-in-10 Republicans (69%) give it a positive rating.
A record 70% of voters think the taxes they pay are too high — up 11 points from last March and surpassing the previous high of 64% in March 2024. It also marks the largest year-over-year increase since the question was first asked in 2004, when 51% felt taxes were too high. A majority of voters have consistently said their tax burden is too much.
FOX NEWS POLL: SOUR VOTERS SAY WASHINGTON IS OUT OF TOUCH
Compared to last year, groups showing the highest increase in concern over how much they are paying include voters with graduate degrees (+24 points since 2025), very liberal voters (+20), Democratic men (+19), moderates (+19), rural voters (+17), White voters without a college degree (+16), and women ages 45+ (+16).
What bothers people most about federal income taxes is the wealthy are not paying enough (38%), although that figure has dipped slightly from last year’s record high of 45%. Close behind is concern about how the government spends their tax dollars, up 3 points from a year ago to 29%.
Other irritations are the amount of taxes paid (14%), feeling too many people don’t pay enough (10%), and the complexity of the system (9%).
Democrats (57%) and independents (40%) are the most concerned about the rich not paying enough, while Republicans’ biggest issue is the amount the government uses (39%).
“The data show why Democrats persistently frame budget, spending, and tax policy questions as a matter of the rich paying their fair share,” says Republican Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News survey with Democrat Chris Anderson. “It’s one of the only ways the party is competitive on these issues given public skepticism about government performance.”
Disapproval of how President Trump is handling taxes has reached a record high of 64%, up 11 points from a year ago.

Dissatisfaction is up across the board, including among Democrats (+9 points disapproving since April 2025), independents (+14) and Republicans (+9).
One more thing…
AI use is on the rise, but not for tax prep.
Nearly 9 in 10 voters (87%) say they are not using AI to help with their taxes this year, while roughly 1 in 10 (13%) say they will or already have. Those most likely to say they will use AI are Republicans under age 45 (29%), voters under 30 (23%), Hispanic voters (21%), Black voters (20%), and employed voters (19%).
Conducted March 20-23, 2026, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,001 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (104) and cellphones (641) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (256). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education and area variables to ensure the demographics are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis and voter file data.
