Jim Watson | AFP | Getty ImagesAlmost half of all voters, or 48%, say canceling student loan debt is an important issue to them in the 2024 presidential and congressional elections, a new survey finds.
Debt forgiveness has historically been a highly partisan issue, with supporters and detractors split down party lines.
Almost a quarter, 23%, of Gen X voters surveyed said they or someone in their household had student loan debt.
The Supreme Court last June struck down the president's $400 billion plan to deliver student loan forgiveness to as many as 40 million Americans.
Meanwhile, the popularity of loan forgiveness among voters may prove a challenge for Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee for president.
