Midterms to Test Enthusiasm for Student Loan Forgiveness

“The public is split over President Biden’s student-loan forgiveness plan, but groups that are key to Democrats’ chances in the midterm elections—Black, Latino and younger voters—strongly support the program,” according to a new Wall Street Journal poll.

“Forty-eight percent of the public favors Mr. Biden’s proposal to cancel up to $10,000 in student debt for borrowers with federal student loans who make less than $125,000 a year. Forty-seven percent of those polled said they oppose the program, which is temporarily on hold while a court considers a legal challenge.”
