In our survey, students at a large private university who thought that President Biden had done enough on student loan relief were more likely to support him than those who thought he did too little.

Power in a Union: How Unexpected Group Partnerships Form
Power in a Union: How Unexpected Group Partnerships Form By Boris Heersink, Fordham University and Matthew J. Lacombe, Case Western Reserve University While scholars have focused extensively on the consequences of partnerships between interest groups, less attention has been paid to the historical dynamics shaping when, how, and why such groups unite. This is especially true of “unexpected” partnerships, which unite groups with seemingly little in common.
