"SNIP.....

Overall, 57% of Americans at least somewhat support the 2020 candidate's debt cancellation proposal and 21% opposed the measure. 13% of respondents did not either support or oppose the idea while 9% said they didn't know how they felt about the plan.

The plan found majority support among thosewho wouldn't benefit from debt cancellation directly, including those who've already paid off their student loans, who never took out loans, or who did not attend college or graduate school.

Warren's plan is vast in scope: it would eliminate all student debt for 75% of Americans who have it, and get rid of at least some debt for 95% of the almost 45 million affected Americans, according to an analysis by four social policy professors released by Warren's campaign.
