The Joe Biden administration gets the most credit from voters for the monthly child benefit payments that have been going out since July, according to a new survey from HuffPost and Data for Progress. Some 42% of likely voters said the Biden administration is responsible for the payments, while 27% credited Democrats in Congress; 12% said they didn’t know. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has taken to calling it the “Biden Child Tax Credit.”“We don’t plan on losing the House,” Pelosi said earlier this month at an event in Worcester, Massachusetts. Surveys over the years have shown people generally don’t understand the rules of the earned income tax credit, for instance. Data for Progress, a progressive polling and strategy organization, conducted the survey of 1,346 likely voters Sept. 15-17.
