The CNBC All-America Economic Survey, a poll of 802 Americans nationwide, shows 36% of the public gives the infrastructure plan a thumbs-up compared with 33% who oppose it. The edge is within the poll s 3.5% margin of error and it s about half the level of support garnered by Biden s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act that Congress passed in March.
A large 31% slice of the public say they don t know enough to venture an opinion, suggesting an opportunity for each political party to make headway.

While almost a third of Republicans are willing to give Biden good marks on Covid, virtually none are willing to give him good marks on immigration, said Jay Campbell, partner at Hart Research Associates, and the Democratic pollster for the CNBC survey. If there was nothing else to talk about, I think this would be an enormous problem for Biden right now and it has the potential to grow into a bigger problem.
Another possible concern: 40% or the public believe Biden s policies are too liberal, compared to 26% who see them as neither too liberal nor too conservative and 6% who say they are too conservative. 28% say they are unsure.
