THE PREMISE POLL: 73% of Poll Respondents Approve of President Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness Plan; Only 27% Feel the plan goes too far.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Premise, a global on-demand insights company that democratizes the way data is sourced and analyzed, surveyed 903 American adult contributors about President Biden’s recently announced student loan forgiveness plan. Premise announced the results of that survey today, finding overwhelming support for the president’s plan.

On Wednesday, August 24th, President Biden announced his plan to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loans for Pell grant recipients and up to $10,000 for other individual federal loan recipients, both with a $125,000 income cap. The plan also further extended the COVID-19 pause on federal student loan repayments through the end of the year, with payments resuming in January 2023.

Those surveyed shared their thoughts on the plan itself, the fairness of it, whether it went far enough, and more. Here are some of the most significant findings:

73% of respondents strongly or somewhat approved of President Biden’s plan, and 27% somewhat or strongly disapproved of it.
