Friend,
By now you’ve probably heard that President Biden announced he’ll be canceling up to $20,000 in student loan debt for some borrowers. While it doesn’t go far enough, this is still a big deal―as many as 20 million people will wake up tomorrow for the first time in their adult lives with $0 in student loans.
Our polling shows that canceling even some student loan debt has major benefits for Democrats, especially in key swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin:
Our survey shows majority support regardless of debt status or college degree:
Just a few years ago, student loan cancellation was barely on the radar. Now it’s a reality. Data for Progress published our first study on student debt back in 2018―and we haven’t stopped.
This is how you make progress. If you’re ready to keep fighting for a system where your ability to get a college degree isn’t based on how rich your parents are or how willing you are to go into debt, make a donation to Data for Progress today!
