Seventy percent of Democrats and 52 percent of independents said higher-earning Americans should pay more in taxes while 53 percent of Republicans said the wealthy pay their fair share.
An April 9-12 Hill-HarrisX survey found a plurality of voters, 46 percent, said the U.S. does not do enough to redistribute wealth.
According to a recent report, the top 1 percent of households per income do not report 21 percent of their income to the IRS while the bottom half of earners fail to report about 7 percent of their income.
The Hill-HarrisX poll was conducted online among 2,813 registered voters. It has a margin of error of 1.85 percentage points.
