Suburban voters praise Biden on COVID, but raise economic, border concerns in new study

WASHINGTON – Suburban voters with a college degree tepidly approve of President Joe Biden’s job performance as he approaches 100 days in office, with reservations about his agenda increasing as concerns about the pandemic fade, according to a new study from a center-right group.

N2 America, a nonprofit organization focused on the suburbs that was formed by a group of Republican operatives, surveyed an online panel of 40 college-educated suburban voters in battleground counties across the country every week since Biden’s inauguration in January.

Over that period, N2 America found that group generally praised Biden for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and liked him personally. But as their anxieties over COVID-19 started to recede with the uptick in vaccinations, they expressed growing concerns about the rest of the president’s agenda, particularly his plans for spending, taxes and the U.S.-Mexico border.
