A majority of voters want new infrastructure spending to be paid for by other spending💵 cuts, not tax increases or adding to the national debt. 68% of GOP voters feel the same, compared to just 31% of Democrats.
A plurality of voters prefer a smaller $500 billion spending package focused solely on infrastructure🛣️ projects compared to Biden's proposed $2 trillion spending package, $1.5 billion of which is allocated to non-infrastructure projects.
A small percentage of voters consider childcare (12%), paid family leave (10%), Medicaid (14%), and elderly care (14%) to be infrastructure. 75% consider highways, bridges🌉, and roads to be infrastructure.
If given the choice, voters would focus more on core infrastructure🚢 projects rather than the other non-infrastructure ventures the Biden plan allocates spending towards.
