POLITICO/Morning Consult Poll: Bipartisan Support for American Jobs Plan
April 7, 2021
The American Jobs Plan is bipartisan – which may be why Republicans would rather talk baseball.
New polling from POLITICO/Morning Consult shows Republicans, Independents, and Democrats are lining up beyond President Biden's bipartisan plan to create good jobs and rebuild our country's infrastructure.
Highlights from the poll:
- 71 percent of Republicans support the American Jobs Plan's proposal to modernize highways, roads, and streets
- 64 percent of Republicans support the American Jobs Plan's proposal to improve caregiving for the elderly and disabled
- 62 percent of Republicans support the American Jobs Plan's proposal to build and improve public schools
- 65 percent of voters – including 42 percent of Republicans – also support raising corporate tax rates to pay for the American Jobs Plan
Surprisingly, Americans seem to like this bipartisan plan to create millions of jobs and provide a ‘big boost to blue-collar America.'
