WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s pandemic relief bill is receiving overwhelming approval from swing voters, which include many of former President Donald Trump’s supporters, according to a new online Democratic poll.
The poll’s findings — which broadly align with other surveys of the $1.9 trillion legislative package — are further evidence of the political bind facing Republicans ahead of Friday’s vote in the U.S. House on the bill, particularly as the party seeks to retain many Trump voters who have not traditionally backed Republican candidates.
“It reveals the divisions in the Republican Party aren’t just about Trump,” said Guy Cecil, the chairman of the Democratic super PAC Priorities USA, which commissioned the poll. “There are other dividing lines between elected officials in the Republican Party and a lot of the voters they’re going to need if they want to get back the House and Senate.”
