A payroll provider should be able to release information about withholdings and the average change since the changes were implemented by income level.

That would be better than a poll of 800 people.

800-1000 people is the gold standard for representative random samples and suggesting the poll is invalid on basis of population size is not reasonable; seeking a full release of all payroll providers nationwide would not be viable from a cost standpoint. this is the most efficient way to capture the data.

the only real issue is whether these people are actually aware of whether their salaries are rising or not

also it's interesting to note that more people have turned positive on the tax cuts than have been impacted by them

I mean, to me the issue is more about whether the pay increase is appreciable or not, less than whether it exists or not which we know to be true

but if you're on the exchange then that all got eaten up by your higher premiums due to the repeal of the individual mandate, for instance, so it isnt really much of a tax cut in practice
