Poll: $3.5 Trillion Reconciliation Package ‘Deeply Unpopular’ in Swing Districts
President Biden’s $3.5 trillion reconciliation package is “deeply unpopular” in House swing districts across the nation, according to an American Action Network poll released Wednesday.
The poll sampled 400 respondents in three House districts, where embattled Reps. Cindy Axne (D-IA), Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) and Elaine Luria (D-VA) are incumbents. Respondents were asked the following question:
As you may know, President Biden and the Democrats in Congress have proposed a $3.5 trillion bill that they say would strengthen the social safety net, invest in climate policy, expand Medicare, childcare and paid leave, create universal pre-K and make incentives for green energy adoption. Knowing this, do you favor or oppose Congress passing this $3.5 trillion bill?
In Iowa and New Jersey districts, 51 percent oppose the package. In the Virginia district, 52 percent oppose it.
Among those who “strongly oppose” the legislation, Iowa marks at 43 percent, New Jersey at 42 percent, and Virginia at 46 percent.
The massive package’s favorability numbers are not any better for Biden. In Iowa and New Jersey districts, 46 percent approve of it. In the Virginia district, 47 percent approve of it.

The poll also notes certain provisions that voters in the swing districts oppose:
- Increase taxes on the majority of small businesses in the country
- $200 million for a park in Nancy Pelosi’s district
- Over $4 billion in tax credits to private universities like Harvard and Yale
- Tax breaks for the purchase of electric vehicles with parts that are only produced in China
- Tax breaks to newspapers for every reporter they hire
The poll also revealed families in the districts believe the package will further injure the economy. Respondents were asked if they agreed that:
After $6 trillion in spending for COVID relief and infrastructure, inflation is already hurting our economy. Prices for groceries, gas and everyday items are skyrocketing and we can’t afford to increase the cost of living further with another $3.5 trillion in wasteful spending.
In Iowa’s district, 64 percent agreed with the statement. In New Jersey’s district, 59 agreed, and in Virginia’s district, 60 percent agreed.

It should be noted the language of the polling is primarily generous to Democrats, yet Biden’s massive package is “deeply unpopular” with working families.
The American Action Network suggests Biden’s “tax and spending bill will undoubtedly be a problem for the Members who support it.”
“Not only will this further increase costs for all Americans, lower wages and increase taxes on a majority of small businesses, but the money is being spent on the wrong priorities,” the poll analyzes. “Rather than helping the middle class, this bill prioritizes a park in Speaker Pelosi’s district, tax credits for liberal elite universities and handouts for millionaires who buy luxury vehicles.”
The poll was conducted from September 18-21 with a 4.9 margin of error.

Report: Democrats ‘Infrastructure’ Bill Hopes to Transform American Social, Economic Landscape
The multi-trillion dollar price tag on what the Democrats are calling regular and human “infrastructure” bills is in the headlines, but if the legislation passes the change, it will bring will come at a cost to the American way of life.
And even if only some of the far left’s wish list becomes law, everyone will face a societal shift on a number of fronts, including the expansion of the federal government to mandate health, education, and child care freebies and benefits.
As Breitbart News has reported, the left-wing of the Democrat Party claim that taxing corporations and the wealthy — who already pay the majority of taxes — will foot the bill for the estimated $5 trillion proposal.
But they make no mention of inflation and taxes impeding economic growth.
The Axios website reported on some of changes Americans might face if this legislation passes during a House vote on Thursday in a story titled, “Biden’s Reengineer-America Moment.”
In the transportation section, public will supersede private with “$66 billion for Amtrak and other rail projects. House Democrats want to add $10 billion more for high-speed rail that would connect to local and regional transportation networks.”
Axios reported:
House Democrats have also proposed linking public transit and affordable housing to give lower-income people better access to jobs, health care and education. A joint program between the Federal Transit Administration and the Department of Housing and Urban Development would provide $10 billion in grants to support struggling communities.
The bill also contains pieces that business and oil-and-gas industry groups argue would raise energy consumer costs. They include a new fee imposed on methane emissions from the oil-and-gas industry, and financial carrots and sticks to speed deployment of zero-carbon power.
Electric vehicles will be chosen as winners nd tax credits — up to $12,500 per vehicle — could be put in place, and $13.5 billion couold be spent on EV infrastructure, including public charging stations.
In the health care sector, it would be Obamacare 2.0, expanding government health care by seven million people in 2022 alone, Axios reported, according to one estimate.
The pharmaceutical sector claims the bill could discourage research into medicines to fight diseases like cancer and dementia.
The freebies in the education and child care sector includes free day care for “lower” income families and two free years of pre-school before kindergarten. Two years of free community college is also in the legislation.
“Also in Biden’s plans: 12 weeks of paid family leave to tend to a sick family member — a responsibility that disproportionately falls on women — and an additional $400 billion to expand comfort and care for elderly Americans,” Axios reported.
Axios reported governors of both red and blue states are eager to get more money from taxpayers.
“This kind of bill does have the potential to improve the lives of Americans for generations,” Seattle Mayor Jenny A. Durkan, a Democrat, told Axios.
“Even though I know that my successors will probably be cutting the ribbons, I know that it’s my responsibility to plant trees now so that my children will have shade,” Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, a Republican, told Axios.
