In May 2022, Americans were surveyed on how much student loan debt they think should be forgiven. Across party lines, Democrats were much more likely than Republicans to indicate that at least some, if not all, student loan debt should be forgiven. Only 14 percent of Democrats felt that no debt should be forgiven, compared with 53 percent of Republicans. Independents were most likely to say that some student debt should be forgiven.
In August 2022, the Biden administration announced that it would forgive up to 20,000 U.S. dollars for individuals earning less than 125,000 U.S. dollars a year.
