Description
A majority of Washingtonians support President Joe Biden's student debt relief plan, including those who did not go to college themselves, according to new WA Poll results released Thursday.
Biden's plan, first announced in August, would forgive $10,000 in federal student debt for those with incomes less than $125,000 or households that make less than $250,000. Additionally, those who received federal Pell Grants are eligible for an added $10,000 in relief.
The plan makes 20 million eligible to get their federal student debt erased entirely, including hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians. More than 782,000 people in Washington state owe a total of $28.2 billion in federal student loan debt, according to U.S. Department of Education data.
The announcement immediately became a major political issue ahead of the November midterm elections.
According to WA Poll results, 55% of Washington adults polled said they support Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, with 34% being opposed to it.
