As Americans go to the grocery store or gas station, there is no way to avoid the rising prices, but the bill that President Joe Biden signs Monday will make a dramatic change in their perspective. Why? We love his new roads, bridges, trains infrastructure bill. Take a look here.
In a just-released Politico/Morning Consult Poll the big question was:
‘As you may know, the U.S. Senate passed a $1 trillion bipartisan bill to improve America’s infrastructure. Do you support or oppose this infrastructure bill?’
The one-trillion-dollar bipartisan bill has been a big win, according to the poll. Although President Biden’s popularity was down, once voters get to see the bill in action that will likely dramatically increase his numbers. In fact, voters give his bill a 23-point margin.
People tend to forget that our president has only been in office for a little over 10 months and had a massive coronavirus pandemic to deal with. His soft infrastructure to provide reasonable daycare and preschool among other issues will only boost President Biden’s standing more. His numbers have basically remained static, but they did tick up by one point since the previous Politico/Morning Consult Poll.
The soft infrastructure Build Back Better Bill has already passed a procedural vote on Friday. Plus, the $1.75 trillion bill should pass the House now that they have the figures that proved the bill was paid for, and then it goes to the Senate. There all the Democrats would only need would be a 51 percent margin to win, The Newsweek Magazine reported.
Of course, the two ever-recalcitrant Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) would have to get on board, and Vice President Kamala Harris would come in with her tie-breaking vote, CNBC reported. Manchin has been firmly against leave after a woman gives birth or the couple adopts a child. He drives a silver Maserati and lives on a yacht in Washington D.C. according to The Independent, so he clearly cannot relate.
A full 54 percent of voters “strongly support” and “somewhat support” the bill. Only 31 percent said they “strongly oppose ” and “somewhat oppose” it.
For Independent voters, 53 percent supported the bill while 28 percent opposed it. There was a 31 percent margin even among those who disapproved of the president.
What needs to happen next is President Biden’s administration must get ahead of the messaging before the Republicans grab it and run the Dems into the ground. Their communications must be in easy to recall and understandable language that links up with any and all of the voters. The GOP has been far ahead of the Democrats on this issue, so President Biden’s party must leap much further ahead and generate the excitement that will drive voters to the voting booths in 2022.
Granted, he has been talking about the infrastructure bill that just passed and will continue to do so, but he, his administration, and the Democratic legislators need to ramp up to warp speed.
