And here's my detailed look at the politics of debt relief. https://t.co/YrYvHkh1VG — PolitiTweet.org

Here's some detailed polling from YouGov on how student loan relief breaks down among various demographic groups. The absolute numbers wary by poll, but other surveys show similar patterns. https://t.co/Whm1JUmDAM — PolitiTweet.org

The politics are not a slam dunk. The coalition of Republicans, centrist Dems and prominent media figures who oppose debt relief is similar to the opposition to full troop withdrawal in Afghanistan last year. That opposition can create and stoke a public backlash. — PolitiTweet.org

That's important because it explains what's happen now. If it was just AOC and Warren pushing for debt forgiveness, Team Biden would ignore them. More establishment Dems like Clyburn, Tish James, Schumer and the overwhelming majority of Dem voters are there too. — PolitiTweet.org

That's a Data for Progress survey. But polls from YouGov Blue, YouGov, Grinnell College (Selzer) and others show a similar breakdown. Conservatives/Republicans are the biggest chunk of people who oppose loan forgiveness, black Americans and liberals most supportive. Partisanship. — PolitiTweet.org

It would obviously be a mistake for Democrats to adopt a policy loved by college grads (1/3 of American adults) and hated by non-college grads. But student debt relief doesn't divide the electorate based on education. Instead views are largely divided by party/ideology. https://t.co/YEvL9uwCGt — PolitiTweet.org
