New polling finds that three-quarters (77%) support a revised Child and Family Tax Credit currently under consideration in the legislature. Majorities support the tax credit across demographics, but “strong support” is highest among Democrats and Democratic leaning Independents (49%), Black residents (48%),  residents making less than $25,000 annually (45%), those living in Western Massachusetts (54%), and parents of children under age 18 (47%).
