Voters in new poll say they’re not very familiar with Biden domestic spending initiatives

Voters in a new poll say they are not familiar with President Biden’s domestic spending initiatives, with many sharing that they know nothing at all about major laws that have passed during this administration.

The Politico-Morning Consult poll asked voters how much they had seen, read or heard about the four major domestic policy laws — the 2021 American Rescue Plan, the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law, the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

Regarding the American Rescue Plan, 34 percent of voters responded “none at all” when asked how much they’ve seen, read or heard about it; 30 percent of voters had the same response about the infrastructure law, 44 percent for the CHIPS and Science Act and 24 percent for the the Inflation Reduction Act.

A slim minority said they’ve seen, read, or heard “a lot” about the laws — 11 percent for the American Rescue Plan, 14 percent for the infrastructure law, 9 percent for the CHIPS and Science Act and 17 percent for the Inflation Reduction Act, according to the survey.

Sunday marked six months until Election Day, and Biden faces a messaging challenge to convey his accomplishments to voters.

The president is currently polling neck and neck with former President Trump, according to The Hill/ Decision Desk HQ’s latest average of polls.

The Politico-Morning Consult poll was conducted April 27-28 and included 1,974 registered voters. It has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.
