But recent polls have shown that these demographics have been trending right in the last couple years, wouldn’t this in theory help stop them from continuing to bleed off?

Loan forgiveness is mixed but the SAVE Plan is strongly or somewhat supported by basically every group.

72% overall

80% democrats

72% independent/3rd party

63% republicans

76% female

68% male

75% under 45

71% over 45

69% no college

77% college

69% black

73% white

73% latino

75% past borrower

67% never borrower

84% current borrower

You know what? After reading that, I actually agree with you now. The message shouldn’t be about forgiving debt because to a lot of people that sounds unearned, it should be about promoting the SAVE Plan and talk about making student repayment more fair.

I support restructuring of loans 100%.  I'm happy with 0% interest.  Lowering payments, etc.  The wiping of debt bothers me.  Restructuring, 100% support here.  

Look at us coming together and agreeing lol

But yeah I think promoting the SAVE Plan and talking about how Republicans have tried to block it along with a plan to bring down the costs of tuition is a winning strategy when talking about higher education.
