Contributing sentiments towards policy:
42% : "Trump is right to identify that he doesn't want his fingerprints on increasing the debt ceiling, and he doesn't want to have to deal with it in six months while he's trying to pass what he considers a must-pass tax extension bill," Elizabeth Pancotti, the director of special initiatives at the left-leaning Roosevelt Institute think tank told BI.42% : This could compromise everyday Americans' access to crucial government programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and housing vouchers.
39% : Trump wants to raise or eliminate the limit on how much the federal government can borrow.
38% : Trump told NBC News that Democrats have signaled they want to get rid of the debt limit and that he would "lead the charge" to do so.
34% : Doing so now would mean the much-debated move would happen on President Joe Biden's watch and be resolved before Trump takes office when he'll want to implement his agenda without a fight over borrowing limits.
27% : In an interview with Fox News Digital on Thursday, Trump warned that Republicans who don't support repealing the debt limit could face primary challenges; many Republicans have historically opposed getting rid of it, arguing that it's a check on borrowing.
25% : The debt ceiling was one of the sticking points Trump used to scrap a bipartisan deal to keep the government funded through March.
16% : "Congress must get rid of, or extend out to, perhaps, 2029, the ridiculous Debt Ceiling," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday.
