The majority of U.S. adults believe President Trump and top House Republicans should put healthcare reform by the wayside and focus on other policies, according to a CBS News poll released Wednesday evening.

The survey, conducted Friday through Monday, concluded 53 percent of Americans want the government to move on other issues. Just under one-quarter of adults called for Congress to replace Obamacare.

Three-in-five people said the healthcare law needs further attention and changes to the law, but they would not repeal it. Only 12 percent of those polled said the Affordable Care Act was working perfectly.

Trump flirted with giving up on reforming healthcare in late March following the American Health Care Act being pulled from the House floor on two occasions.

The White House and Congress have continued negotiating how to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama's key legacy item, though the talks have been out of sight from the public and press.

Trump had vowed to leave behind healthcare and focus on the tax code, an issue House Speaker Paul Ryan was eager to tackle. While Americans want Trump to move on to other issues, 38 percent of them said he if moves to change the tax code, they will see their taxes go up, not down.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Wednesday discussed the administration's proposed tax plan, including driving down the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent. Mnuchin also talked about large tax cuts for the middle-class.

A little less than two-in-five respondents who make less than $100,000 per year expect to see their federal taxes increase than the one-quarter of people who say Trump will lower them. One-third of adults said they do not believe reforms will make a difference in the rate they pay in taxes, though the survey was taken a few days before Mnuchin talked about the plan on Wednesday.

The poll was conducted by landline and cell phone with 1,214 randomly selected adults nationwide.
