several days, but very little coverage was done by the illustrious press on the polls regarding the 3.5 trillion infrastructure plan.
I've located several recent polls that ask about the bill in a broad, umbrella fashion, and all find majority support. A Quinnipiac poll conducted July 27-Aug. 2 asked, "Do you support or oppose a $3.5 trillion spending bill on social programs such as child care, education, family tax breaks and expanding Medicare for seniors?" and found 62% support, 32% opposition. A Monmouth University poll conducted July 21-26 asked about both the initial infrastructure bill and the new $3.5 trillion bill, describing the latter this way: "A plan to expand access to healthcare and child care, and provide paid leave and college tuition support." The results were similar to the Quinnipiac poll, with 63% in favor and 35% opposed.

Not surprisingly what I do hear is trying to link inflation to Biden, not to the supply shortages aggravated by the trump trade wars and the pandemic

(30,613 posts)And we have DUers complicit with the truth-twisting headline writers.
For example:
"September BLS jobs report, Unemployment falls to 4.8%, 194,000 jobs added"
But we had one DUer post it as:
"September's jobs report badly misses expectations with payrolls increasing by just 194,000"
