Majority expect the wealthy to benefit most under Trump

As President-elect Trump prepares to enter the White House, a majority of Americans in a new poll say they are bracing for four years of domestic economic policies that will disproportionately benefit high-income earners.

Fifty-five percent of the public — including 51 percent of whites and 63 percent of non-white Americans — are convinced that Trump’s administration will line the pockets of the rich and benefit Wall Street, while only 21 percent believe the incoming Republican president will help poorer Americans, according to the latest Monmouth University poll.
