Biden’s student loan work gets tepid reviews — even among those with debt, an AP-NORC poll finds
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new poll shows relatively few Americans say they’re fans of President Joe Biden’s work on the issue of student loans. The survey from the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds three in 10 U.S. adults say they approve of how Biden has handled the issue of student loan debt, while 4 in 10 disapprove and the others are neutral or don’t know enough to say.

The poll reveals a deep divide over the issue of student debt relief even as Biden makes it a campaign priority.
