The following is from Gallup News.

A majority of Americans say they believe they pay too much in taxes, with views remaining largely unchanged in recent years, according to a new Gallup poll.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) say they think the amount of federal income tax they pay is too high. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say their taxes are about right, while just 3% say they are too low.

Americans’ dissatisfaction with taxes has held steady since 2023 and remains higher than levels seen in the early 2000s, though still below peaks recorded from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Views on fairness remain relatively negative. Forty-seven percent (47%) say the income tax they will pay this year is fair, near one of the lowest points measured in Gallup polling, while 49% say their taxes are not fair.

Differences between political groups are relatively modest. Sixty-four percent (64%) of independents, 60% of Republicans and 49% of Democrats say they believe their taxes are too high. Republicans and Democrats report similar views on fairness, while independents are less likely to say their taxes are fair.

Gallup notes that attitudes toward taxes have shifted in recent years alongside economic conditions and policy changes, but overall sentiment has remained near some of the most negative levels seen in the past two decades.

The findings are based on a Gallup poll conducted March 2–18, 2026.
