Currently 31 percent feel they have benefited from the tax cut program which is a 17 percentage point decrease from the beginning of Governor Christie Todd Whitman's term in office when 48 percent of the state's residents thought they would gain from the 30% tax reduction. Even though residents say they have not benefitted from the tax reduction, a majority of New Jerseyans are satisfied with the program.
