For the second week in a row, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki used DFP polling to make the case for Biden’s infrastructure plan! On Wednesday, Psaki opened her briefing ([link removed]) with our polling ([link removed]) on the American Jobs Plan, which found an overwhelming 73% of voters support Biden’s AJP. Notably, that includes majorities of Independents (67%) and Republicans (57%).

It’s not just Biden’s physical infrastructure proposals that are met with strong voter support — our polling on investments in the care economy ([link removed]) , expected in Biden’s next package, finds overwhelming, bipartisan support for creating caregiving jobs, guaranteed paid family and medical leave, and expanding child care. These investments are supported by an 83-point margin of Democrats, a 42-point margin of Independents, and a 26-point margin of Republicans.

In addition to highlighting our work in their press conferences, the White House also used DFP polling as the centerpiece of two press releases this week, one on ([link removed]) Biden’s plans to build physical infrastructure and the other on ([link removed]) the care economy. We’re thrilled to see that the White House is taking note of our polls showing that the American people are overwhelmingly supportive of President Biden’s infrastructure agenda.

Here are some other highlights from DFP over the past week:
* Two of our esteemed founders, Colin McAuliffe and Sean McElwee, have a new blog out today ([link removed]) about how the suburbs are ripe ground for progressives. Colin and Sean write how contrary to popular belief, suburban voters support key progressive policies by strong margins and are represented by some of the most progressive Members of Congress.

* Our Senior Climate Data Analyst Danielle Deiseroth (mailto:[email protected]) has a new policy report ([link removed]) out on voter support for financial reforms related to the climate crisis: nearly two-thirds of voters (63 percent) agree the Treasury and Federal Reserve should play an active role in protecting the financial system from a future financial crisis driven by climate change.
