Biden student loan handouts get approval from just 3 in 10 Americans

A new poll found 3 in 10 American approve and 4 in 10 Americans disapprove of President Biden's handling of student debt relief, a major campaign priority for the Democrat.

Among those responsible for unpaid student loan debt, either for themselves or for a family member, just 36% of respondents approve of Biden's handling of the handouts, while 34% disapprove.

The results reveal a deep divide over the issue of student debt relief even as Biden is pressing ahead with a new cancelation plan in a bid to energize young adults and Black and Hispanic Americans. Those groups are more likely to prioritize student loan relief but have flagging approval for the president, according to the AP.
