President Barack Obama has a lot of support for his proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy, even among the financially well-off, new polls show.
Two polls show similar levels of support for a millionaire tax among those earning more than $100,000, and among Americans more broadly.
Among those earning at least $100,000, nearly two-thirds 65 percent would support income tax increases on households earning $1 million or more annually, says a poll commissioned by American Express.
