Student loan forgiveness falls into that category, he said. Almost half of voters in a recent survey, or 48%, said canceling student loan debt is an important issue to them in the 2024 presidential and congressional elections. Issues like student loan forgiveness, which present a sharp contrast between Democrats and Republicans, are more likely to impact the election.
