FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Poll: Nearly Three-Quarters of American Voters Oppose $3.5 Trillion Biden Budget
(Austin, TX—October 4, 2021) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018 and 2020—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted September 29th through October 1st of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“Independents and Republicans oppose this bill by huge majorities, as do fully half of Democrats. Almost nobody supports Biden’s runaway spending spree, and folks are outraged that—with everything else they’ve had to endure with this failed presidency—increasing taxes and adding to our astronomical debt are actually on the table,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “The hard left can continue to make noise, but our elected officials know where the public stands on this monstrosity. This proposal is not happening.”
