Pollster John Della Volpe Joins The Panel: Will Biden Be Able to Move Forward with Voting Rights and Infrastructure Bills in the Senate?

Episode Summary

This week, President Joe Biden returned from his first overseas trip to a full plate of legislation. The Voting Rights Bill, which just days ago many had given up for dead, is back in play as Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia released his version of key points that he’d like to see in the bill. Also this week, eleven Republican Senators endorsed a compromise for an infrastructure bill. It includes only one-quarter the funding that Biden initially proposed and is vague on where that money comes from. Does it represent forward movement for the Biden Administration? And the panel looks at what public opinion polling tells us about how the American people feel about all this. How do voters view President Biden at this point in his presidency – and does it have any effect on his ability to move his agenda forward? RealClearPolitics co-founder and President Tom Bevan, Washington Bureau Chief Carl Cannon, and Director of Polling at Real Clear Opinion Research John Della Volpe join moderator Andrew Walworth on today’s RealClearPolitics Takeaway podcast.
