** Happy birthday ARP!
------------------------------------------------------------

The American Rescue Plan is now one-year-old, and new polling ([link removed]) with our friends at Invest in America finds that Americans still support the American Rescue Plan by a +39-point margin. This includes overwhelming support from Democrats (+85-point margin) and Independents (+45-point margin), as well as more than two-fifths of Republicans.

We also find a majority of voters believe the American Rescue Plan:
* Helped businesses during the pandemic by 53-40%.
* Helped schools during the pandemic by 55-37%.
* Helped families by 57-37%.
* Improved healthcare by 56-35%.



Not bad, ARP. Too bad passing the Build Back Better agenda wasn’t that easy…



** Some highlights from DFP this week:

A Majority of Voters Back Biden on Ukraine — Once They Learn About It

New polling ([link removed]) from earlier this week finds a majority of national likely voters back President Biden’s actions in response to Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine — once they learn about them.

Initially, we find the president underwater in approval on his response to Russia, with a slim plurality of voters — 45 percent of voters in support, 48 percent in opposition — disapproving of the president’s job performance on Ukraine. When voters learn about a number of recent actions the Biden Administration has taken against Russia, we find net approval jumps 36 points to a majority of likely voters — 63 percent — saying they back the president’s performance on Ukraine.

We also asked voters about their attitudes toward recent administrative actions Biden has taken in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and we find that a majority of voters support ([link removed]) each of these measures.

One Thing Missing from the President’s State of the Union? Student Debt Relief

There was one policy notably absent from the President’s State of the Union address last week: student debt relief. Voters, meanwhile? Probably want ([link removed]) to hear the President say something about it:

We do jobs modeling now!!

We love being your go-to source for progressive polling, and now we’re expanding to jobs modeling, too! And our new analysis ([link removed]) finds Congress’ bipartisan competition bill would create or preserve a total of between 2.6 million and 3.0 million jobs.


[link removed]


If enacted, we find this bill would contribute between $44 billion and $51 billion per year to the U.S. GDP from 2022 through 2027. The analysis also includes a breakdown of job creation or preservation by state from 2022 to 2027:
