The Republican Plot To Demonize Biden's Infrastructure Plan Has Flopped

[634-5789]

The latest Politico/Morning Consult Poll shows that Biden’s infrastructure plan is actually slightly more popular when the cost is mentioned.

Politico reported:

In our latest POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, Biden’s latest big piece of proposed legislation, the American Families Plan, clocks 58% support among registered voters, including 54% of independents and 25% of Republicans. The most popular individual component is free universal preschool, which commands 63% support.

The most fascinating finding in the poll: Support for Biden’s infrastructure plan was 1 point higher when the price tag was mentioned (57%) than when it wasn’t (56%). When was the last time you saw that for a massive chunk of government spending? … Taking a step back, voters listed reducing health care costs as their top priority for Congress — ahead of even recovering from the pandemic.

It turns out that a substantial majority of Americans want to spend money to fix the country. The other illuminating point from these numbers is that Biden’s message is resonating with voters, while the Republican lip service concern about the cost is falling on deaf ears.

4. Give me the name of 1 Republican

who will vote for an infrastructure bill. Joe Manchin won't vote for it.

5. Manchin will vote for it.

It'll be negotiated down a little but he'll eventually sign on.

7. I wasn't speaking of members of Congress.

The OP is about people in the general population who support Biden's infrastructure plan. Those are the people I was referring to. Their support for the plan could affect how they vote in 2022, especially as the R's continue to oppose it.

2. Way to go, Republicans!

I knew that if you kept trying, and stopped moving your damned foot, you'd eventually manage to shoot it.

6. Repugs in both houses of Congress seem to care less and less about what voters want as time goes on.

They don't even try to pretend that they are fighting for what their constituents want or that they stand for anything. Their only focus, their only "principle," their only driving force is, "Democrats bad. Must stop Democrats. No matter what Democrats want to do, it must be opposed, because Democrats." It's totally nuts and completely unsustainable.
