>>even though polls also show that many voters here profoundly disagree with him and the GOP on major issues like taxes

I have NEVER EVER EVER seen a poll that shows voters "profoundly disagree" with the GOP on tax reform. Have you?

Well I think there is a little inequity in that sentence as written. Californians do "profoundly disagee" with the GOP on guns and abortion, but taxes... generally no, fiscal responsibility and tax cuts were popular in the past... but not this time. This recent across the board tax cut package the GOP is putting forth received little support (although I still wouldn't say people were profoundly against it). I don't have any polls (because I don't know where to find polls) but here are 2 articles.

So far, the GOP has had little success in rallying support for across-the-board relief
