POLL: More Americans Think Their Taxes Are ‘About Right’ Than Think They Are Too High | A new Gallup poll shows that less than half of the country believes they are paying too much in taxes, matching its lowest level in well over a decade. 46 percent of respondents complained that their taxes were too high, down from 50 percent a year ago, while 47 percent said their taxes were about right. The political divide over taxes is apparent in Gallup’s poll as well, with 54 percent of Republicans saying they pay too much compared to just 34 percent of Democrats.
