.MaddowBlog: Republicans tried to make the Democrats' Build Back Better package less popular. New polls make clear that the GOP failed to persuade the public.
For the most part, Democrats have reason to be discouraged with the latest national polling. President Joe Biden's approval rating is lagging; the party is trailing on the congressional generic ballot; and surveys show the governing majority getting little credit for the strong economic recovery.Monmouth poll
found that a key part of the White House's legislative agenda is more popular than the president and the party pushing it. Turning to Washington, the president's large spending plans remain broadly popular.... Support for the Build Back Better plan to expand access to health care, college, paid leave and other services remains fairly steady at 61%., also released yesterday, pointed in a similar direction, with the Build Back Better package enjoying 64 percent support.
What surprises me is the steadiness of the legislation's popularity. In Monmouth polling, support for the Build Back Better plan hasn't changed much over the course of 2021: In June, for example, 61 percent of Americans endorsed the package. Six months later, it still has 61 percent support. It would've been easy in the recent past to predict a different set of numbers. Democrats started working in earnest on this bill in the spring, at which point Republicans and their allied lobbyists got to work trying to kill it. If the right had succeeded in making the Build Back Better agenda broadly unpopular, it would've vastly increased the odds of Democrats abandoning it.Some in the GOP may not fully be aware of that.
