The Child Tax Credit gets a very warm reception from those receiving it. It is received very positively by Blacks, Hispanics and Asian Americans, Millennials and unmarried women in the Democratic base, but also parents, especially white parents, and younger white working class voters. That disrupts the usual pattern of support for the modern safety net.
When described as a tax cut for every working family to deal with high costs and taxes (and attacked because of deficits, dependency and discouraging work), support for the Child Tax Credit grows in the Democratic base but much more in the white working class groups: younger white working class, white parents, the white disabled and former Democrats.
