55% : That rate surged among those who have student loans, with 83% of those Americans supporting Biden's plan, and 75% of those supporting a policy that would go even further: the forgiveness of all federal student loan debt, as long as graduates are still under an income threshold.
52% :Over the past few decades, student debt has exploded in both the Bay Area and across the country.
52% : During the same time period, the percentage of the adult population with student debt doubled, with the median balances increasing from $13,685 to $17,489 in 15 years.

34% : For many students, the decision is a crushing blow, eliminating federal student loan debt relief for roughly 40% of student loan borrowers.
8% : "Roberts, in an opinion joined by justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, wrote that the law "does not allow the Secretary to rewrite that statute to the extent of canceling $430 billion of student loan principal."
