Recent polls suggest majority support for tax-based measures addressing wealth inequality. E.g. this one from March:

"Fifty-six percent of registered voters in the March 5-8 survey said wealth inequality is a significant problem facing the country and billionaires paying a wealth tax is a part of the solution."

I don't have historical poll data at hand, so I don't know how this has changed over time. My impression that it's become a more popular proposition recently (since the start of the pandemic) might be wrong.

Thanks for your reply, it doesn't really cover all the arguments you mentioned, particularly about economic degrowth which I don't believe is so popular outside turbo leftists.

France recently removed wealth tax, because it's too easy to fraud and just made it harder for wealthy people to spend their money in France. I suppose the experience will be the same in the US.
