Most voters support Biden's American Families Plan, poll finds

Source: Business Insider

While Republican lawmakers have strongly opposed President Joe Biden's American Families Plan, citing concerns with its $1.8 trillion price tag and corporate tax hikes, a new poll found the majority of voters, including Republicans, support it.

A Morning Consult/Politico poll released on Wednesday found that 58% of all voters support the president's plan, with 86% of Democrats, 54% of Independents, and 25% of Republicans backing it. Meanwhile, individual provisions within the plan were found to have more support than the overall package, with 64% of voters supporting ensuring low- and middle-class families pay no more than 7% of their income on childcare.

"The poll, conducted in the days after Biden's address to Congress unveiling the plan, shows that most of the individual provisions in the package are more popular among voters than the plan overall - something to keep in mind as Biden reportedly considers splitting his proposal into multiple parts to reach a bipartisan compromise," the poll said.
