"SNIP......

A new poll reveals that 62% of voters support President Biden’s Build Back Better plan.

Voters Want To Build Back Better

According to a Data For Progress survey, by a margin of 64%-24, likely voters support the infrastructure part of Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Plan. These numbers include 79% of Democrats, 66% of Independents, and 47% of Republicans.

Sixty-two percent of voters support the reconciliation part of Build Back Better. 85% of Democrats, 58% of Independents, and 39% of Republicans support the second part of the plan.

The most supported part of the plan is investing in long-term care, with 79% support. The second most popular is modernizing school buildings and the electrical grid (73% and 74%), followed by allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices.

1. No they arent

[doc03]

2. But today's Republican party is the 53% of Republicsns

that are against everything Biden wants. That would be about 25% of Americans that are bat shit crazy.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Huh?

A Pew poll in April or May showed just under 24% of voters identifying as repukes.
So, the 53% of those disapproving of Biden's plan isn't 25%. It's 12.7%.
I think you're greatly estimating the number of Republicans, which makes the hostage taking of this distinct minority all the more galling.
Now, I know a lot of indies voted for TFG, but even fewer of those people disapprove of this plan.
So, the noise is coming from a pretty small fraction of voters.

3. the coal guy does not support it nt

[FoxNewsSucks]

5. He'll stop it so they don't have to

[lagomorph777]

7. We need to find some bribe or Kompromat that will stick.

Or just advertise heavily in WV, all the good things that their Senator doesn't want them to have.

8. Here's the kompromat. Biden and Schumer need to sit Manchin down...

and have a frank discussion with him about this and the danger it poses for him and his daughter should this info get out. They should also end their discussion by schmoozing him with promises of multiple, good job infrastructure projects in his state for out of work coal miners. It's tie to play hardball.

The Intercept has revealed that Manchin’s daughter, the former president and CEO of the company that made EpiPen, oversaw a 600% price increase that gouged millions of captive EpiPen users. Not only that, she helped dismantle the only company that offered a competing product.

An opportunity for much delayed generational change in the nation's physical and human infrastructure is at hand and we can't allow a couple of recalcitrant senators with apparent ties to entities on the right stop the Biden/Dem agenda. We may not get another chance. Time to deliver on promises made, on a chance to save our Congressional majorities and to save democracy itself.

[Demsrule86]

9. Isn't this the bi-partisan plan? And Manchin already on board.

[brush]

10. He's not on board with the larger 3.5T reconciliation plan...

the human infrastructure plan. And Speaker Pelosi has made it known that both bills have to pass together or she won't bring the bi-partisan plan to the House floor.

Again, time to play hardball with Manchin, and Sinema too.

4. K& big R#5 for, if I could *only* see the Repukes "reeling"!

[Silent3]

6. Many of these same voters, unfortunately, are stupid enough to reward Republicans...

...with their votes in 2022 if Biden doesn't get this plan done soon, instead of being smart enough to elect more Democrats to provide Biden a second chance at it.

[ffr]

11. As was posted earlier today, the GOP stands for nothing but opposition to everything

Will something be good for the country? The GOP is against it. You name it, they are opposed to it.

Fuck them! Let's roll!

13. That is why I am seeing ads on TV all the time now

that are paid for by the pharmaceutical and health industries. I am seeing a lot of pro-tech ads from the tech monopolies. Someone is afraid of regulations and fair pricing.
