President Obama will call on Americans Tuesday night in his State of the Union address to help him in the fight to close the income gap with proposals such as raising the federal minimum wage.
In the poll, 69 percent of likely voters said income inequality is at least a somewhat serious problem. A plurality, 48 percent, said society overall would be less fair if the government got more involved in regulating the economy.
