A new survey from YouGov has found that Vice President Kamala Harris' economic policy agenda, “is largely popular among Americans.” Her populist-leaning agenda, which tracks relatively closely with Biden’s platform, includes several proposals to cut costs that have been received sceptically by some economists, including a pledge to ban price-gouging.
- YouGov: “…each of the 17 policies asked about is strongly or somewhat supported by at least half of Americans. The largest share to oppose any policy is just 27%.
- “The most popular components of the platform concern health care — more specifically, drug costs. These include plans to increase the number of drugs eligible for Medicare price negotiations (82% support), cap the monthly cost of insulin at $35 (78%), and cap out-of-pocket annual expenses for prescription drugs at $2,000 (72%).
- “Housing policies included in Harris' agenda are also popular... 63% are in favor of expanding a tax credit for housing developers building affordable rental units, and 62% favor preventing landlords from using algorithmic price-setting tools.
- “Perhaps the most ambiguous proposal included in Harris' agenda is related to food costs… Our survey asked about "capping increases on food and grocery prices," which we find is supported by 65% of Americans.”
