Fox News Poll Finds Record 70% Say Taxes Too High Amid Wasteful Spending Surge
A new Fox News poll is showing a sharp spike in frustration over taxes, but the bigger shift may be what voters are saying about how that money is used.
A record 70% of voters now say their taxes are too high, according to Fox News, breaking the previous high set in 2024. At the same time, 75% say federal government spending is “wasteful,” a jump of nearly 20 points in just one year.
The sentiment cuts across party lines, with majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and independents all expressing concern about spending efficiency.

According to Fox News, voters are also frustrated with broader tax fairness issues, including perceptions that wealthy Americans are not paying enough.
The data aligns with earlier national polling that found many Americans believe they pay too much while receiving limited value in return.
With tax season approaching, the numbers highlight rising pressure on Washington over both taxation levels and spending priorities.
