NYTimes political story from Akron dittoes the meme in the ABC/WaPo poll (Their story's got 1169 comments in 10 minutes?! Methinks not possible, maybe they updated, in any case, clearly a popular meme)

Profitable Giants Like Amazon Pay $0 in Corporate Taxes. Some Voters Are Sick of It. 10m ag
The number of companies paying zero corporate taxes roughly doubled last year after President Trump’s 2017 tax bill. In Ohio, Democrats haven’t figured out how to leverage anxiety over income inequality to defeat Mr. Trump.

Poli-sci prof says about the poll:

Millions will likely vote for Trump even while disapproving of him, and they will rationalize it by saying that the Democratic nominee, whoever it is, was too far left or flawed, or otherwise didn’t address their concerns.https://t.co/Nt3PV8F7HE

Populist economic frustration threatens Trump’s strongest reelection issue, Post-ABC poll finds

By Seung Min Kim & Scott Clement @ WashingtonPost.com, April 29

President Trump’s strongest case for reelection remains the country’s healthy economy, but the potency of that issue for him is complicated by a widespread belief that the economy mainly benefits people already in power, a Washington Post-ABC News poll finds.

The result previews a fresh wave of populism that could reshape yet another presidential campaign with about 18 months to go before voters decide whether to return Trump to the White House.

This sentiment runs the deepest among Democratic and independent registered voters, but also exists among a significant slice of Republicans. About 8 in 10 Democrats and more than 6 in 10 independents say the country’s economic system gives an advantage to those already in power, while nearly a third of Republicans share that view.

Hewitt's op-ed is still on WaPo's "most read" list more than 24 hrs. after publication. It's really hitting some points people are thinking about.

Interesting exchange between NYTimes opinion writer Jamelle Bouie and a reader who finds many Dem attacks on Trump and GOP offensive:

This reply comes from someone who doesn’t appear to be a mouth breather but who does seem to combine poor reading comprehension with an ability to be very condescending. Couldn’t help but send a response. pic.twitter.com/GMsNugol9R
