CNBC Undercard Republican Debate: Live Coverage

Lindsey Graham defended lower corporate tax rates. Most Americans are not on board with him. In an April 2015 Gallup poll, 69 percent of Americans said they think corporations pay too little in federal taxes. Just 9 percent believe they pay too much.

Nate, if you’d ask them why they’re polling at under 1 percent, I’d ask this: If recent politicians keep running against government — saying how much it’s broken — why should people vote for establishment candidates at all? That argues for churn. Shouldn’t, then, there be a return to a “Morning in America” rhetorical style?

Lindsey Graham and Rick Santorum are talking about the need to curb or increase legal immigration. More Republicans (42 percent) believe we should decrease legal immigration than increase it (21 percent), according to a May Pew Research survey. Yet, a majority (55 percent) believe it should be kept at present levels or increased.
