Negotiations on the infrastructure and social program bills have consumed Capitol Hill for months. Still, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll out Sunday finds Democrats are failing to sell the legislation to the public, who are broadly unaware of what is in the spending packages or skeptical they would help people like themselves, or the economy, if signed into law.
Although a majority (55%) of the public is following news about the negotiations at least somewhat closely, about 7 in 10 (69%) Americans said they know just some or little to nothing about what's in both bills. Fewer than half (31%) said they know a great deal or good amount.
The ABC News/Ipsos poll, which was conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel, found that a plurality (32%) of Americans think the bills would hurt people like them if they became law, while fewer (25%) think it would help them. Nearly 2 in 10 (18%) think the bills would make no difference, and 24% said they didn't know.
Even among Democrats alone, fewer than half (47%) think the two bills would help people like them.

How do you “sell” the concept of giving up your freedom and wealth?
The people get what the people want.
The people want what the people get.
The propaganda machine will assure us all that we are very happy, and if you're not, then you're a racist.
Pretty much. The left will destroy your life whether you fall in line or not.
Gosh, can’t even give a turd away.
Earlier version of poll was “Which do you like best about the Demos, being stabbed in the back with runaway inflation or hit over the head with a hammer by runaway crime and immigrant invasions?”
It was too close to call so they reworded the poll questions.
It’s hard to sell stuff that sucks. Their real question is why isn’t our propaganda working and how do we tweak it so that the rubes take the hook.
With few exceptions, THE TRUTH about Marxist, dictatorial, government-controlled countries and lives, are NEVER sold to the people. They are installed against the citizens’ will by force.
About the same numbers applies to members of congress.
Since no one was ever directly told what was in the agenda...it was like one of those flea-market gimmicks where they sell you a box of something but you just don’t know if it’s forty cans of beans, or ten rolls of toilet paper.
If you said it was purely (100-percent) for replacing bridges around the nation...it might have had a better sells-routine.
They are installed against the citizens’ will by force.

Easy to do when the population is largely uninformed and apathetic.
Another failure for the government/media propaganda complex!
These laws are the like poisonous mushrooms. They grow in the dark in the midst of feces.
How can you believe someone, when everything they touch is turning to dog poop?
“failing to sell agenda”
That’s OK, they’ll just force it down our throats, instead.
“Made in China”
Obamacare tells you all you need to know.
Congress creates a healthcare plan Congress is exempt from following.
Every American has worse and more expensive healthcare.
