There are many ridiculous defenses for President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion spending plan, including the laughable claim that it actually costs nothing. One of the more grounded defenses is that the plan is broadly popular, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

An I&I/TIPP poll has independent voters opposing the plan by a margin of 51%-45%. Independents who strongly oppose the plan outnumber those who strongly support it 32%-20%. More importantly, the poll found that only 49% of independents claim to be following news stories about the bill very or somewhat closely.
