AS PRESIDENT BIDEN TRAVELS TO MINNESOTA TO HIGHLIGHT HIS BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW, NEW NAVIGATOR POLLING UNDERSCORES BROAD POPULARITY OF THE LEGISLATION

New polling shows that President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is supported by two in three Americans

 WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, President Biden is hitting the road to continue on his cross-country tour highlighting the historic investments of his Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. As he travels to champion the legislation, it is clear the American people are with him, as new polling from Navigator Research underscores the overwhelming popularity of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and its key provisions. A strong majority of Americans support the legislation, and nine different provisions in the bill — from replacing lead pipes and expanding high speed internet to all households, to building and repairing roads and bridges and creating clean energy infrastructure — earn support from at least three in five Americans.

And it’s no surprise the American people are with him, because the impacts of this legislation will be felt by every American. For example, Minnesotans will benefit from $4.5 billion for their highways, $302 million for their bridges, $818 million for their public transportation, $680 million to replace lead pipes and improve their water infrastructure, $100 million to provide them with high-speed internet access, and $68 million to expand electric vehicle charging stations in the state.

Key highlights from the Navigator poll:

  • 65% of Americans support the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law after reading about some of the policies included in the law.
  • 86% of Americans support replacing and upgrading water pipes that are contaminated with lead.
  • 85% of Americans support building and repairing roads and bridges across the country.
  • 80% of Americans support upgrading and repairing electric power grids.
  • 79% of Americans support creating job training programs in construction and trucking.
  • 77% of Americans support expanding high speed internet to all American households, including those in rural communities.
  • 73% of Americans support encouraging more women to enter industries like construction and trucking.
  • 65% of Americans support investing in reliable passenger and freight rails service, like Amtrak.
  • 63% of Americans support improving and expanding U.S. airports.
  • 56% of Americans support creating infrastructure for electric vehicles, including replacing existing school buses with electric buses and creating new charging stations.
