0:58Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden’s unprecedented actions to erase student-loan debt have fallen flat with the young voters in swing states he needs to win reelection, according to the latest Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll.
The disconnect illustrates one of the core challenges of Biden’s campaign for a second term: He struggles to get credit from voters for policies intended to motivate them.
That’s left him trailing former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup in each of the seven states in the poll — the first time the poll has shown Biden behind across the board.
A plurality of swing-state Generation Z voters — those born in 1997 or later — say Biden is not doing enough to address the burden of student loan payments, even after he has erased $127 billion in such debt in initiatives that are widely thought to be aimed at locking in that key demographic. A majority of this group approves of the relief his administration has already provided to borrowers — but they were also less likely to have heard about the debt cancellation than older voters.
