Nearly three-quarters of likely voters overall, 74 percent, say the businessman should release his tax returns, while 21 percent don't think he should release them.

Trump has refused for months to release his returns, citing a federal audit, despite the insistence of top political figures, including members of his own party.

Trump's son Eric Trump said it would be "foolish" for his father to release his forms, saying people would try to "come up with assumptions on things they know nothing about."

The survey of 1,498 likely voters was conducted Aug. 18–24 via landlines and cellphones and has a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
