Recent polling suggests that Democrats might not get the boost from young voters they were hoping for this November, following the announcement of President Biden's sweeping student loan debt forgiveness plan.
According to data released on Monday by progressive polling group Data for Progress, Americans ages 18 to 29 rank student loan debt relief fairly low on their list of policy priorities for Congressional candidates. Only 8 percent of young people rank the subject as among their top three issues of concern. Thus, while the Biden administration appears to be banking on debt relief to gain votes during November's upcoming midterms, Data for Progress' polling suggests that young people's apparent focus on the issue may have been overblown.
