Biden’s Build Back Better Framework Is Popular with North Carolinians. Here’s Proof.

A majority of NC voters support President Biden’s Build Back Better framework that will reduce the deficit and lower costs for working families

President Biden’s Build Back Better framework, announced yesterday, will make game-changing, historic investments in economic growth and lower costs for working families — all while reducing the deficit by having the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share. 

From expanding access to affordable, high quality child care, providing support for HBCUs, closing the Medicaid coverage gap, extending middle class tax cuts and much more, the Build Back Better framework will grow the economy from the bottom up and the middle out. 

It’s no wonder that the framework is incredibly popular with North Carolina voters. A recent poll from Data for Progress found that: 

  • 77% of North Carolina voters support higher income taxes for the wealthy
  • 72% of North Carolina voters support a Build Back Better Plan
  • 72% of North Carolina voters support extending tax cuts for families
  • 71% of North Carolina voters support child care investments
  • 67% of North Carolina voters support extending ACA subsidies 

“President Biden campaigned on the promise of governing to deliver results for everyone, no matter who they voted for. The Build Back Better framework goes to show that President Biden is willing to listen to all sides to forge a consensus in order to lower costs for working families. North Carolinians will reap the rewards of this framework through its transformative investment in children and caregiving, real steps to combat climate change and extension of middle class tax cuts,” said NCDP Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty
