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.
Up +3% points from March, @JoeBiden's overall approval👍 rating is far higher than his approval rating for immigration - a majority of voters disapprove of his job handling this issue.

In this month's omnibus, Echelon asked voters whether they trusted Trump or Harris on a range of policy issues and character attributes — and which of those issues and attributes were most important to their vote. 🧵
When it comes to the issues, Trump leads on five while Harris leads on four.
Importantly, Trump leads on the top three issues people say are most important to their vote.
On the other hand, the issues Harris leads on are generally less important to people's votes.
The gap is greater among people who say each of these issues is the most/second most important to their vote.
Among those who say inflation is their most/second most important issue, Trump is trusted more by a 23 point margin.
But among the general population, he only led by 3.
Last month, we asked votes in the likely electorate about neoliberalism. We found some surprisingly large changes from last year!
To test support for neoliberalism, we used eight pairs of statements and asked voters to indicate which one they agreed with more.
Compared to March of 2022 when we tested the same statements, voters were far more favorable to expanding the child tax credit. But they were also far more skeptical of admitting refugees, which saw a similarly large shift in the anti-neoliberal direction.
What if the United States were a multi-party Democracy? In our latest multi-party analysis, we matched registered voters with the following parties: Nationalist (24%), Conservative (18%), Acela (12%), Labor (29%), and Green (8%).
Voters identifying with the Nationalist party platform saw the biggest growth since we last asked the question in June, and the Labor party saw the largest decline in support since then.
The gap between support for the Nationalist party and the Labor party shrank to just 5 points in October after being at 12 points in June.
