TRENTON — The majority of New Jersey voters are willing to let the state’s wealthiest residents pick up the tab for government worker pensions but don’t want tax increases on lower-income residents, according to a new poll.
Seven in 10 Garden States voters polled by the Quinnipiac University Poll said they support raising taxes on people with annual income greater than $1 million, the so-called millionaire’s tax, to shore up the seriously underfunded public pension system.
Twenty-seven percent of those polled were opposed, and of the Republicans polled, 55 percent were opposed.
