According to a brand new poll put out by Rasmussen Reports, 51 percent of likely voters agree with a recent statement from Sen. John Kennedy, a Republican from Florida, who has come out against the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package that was passed by the Senate this week.

“They told us it was a real infrastructure bill. It’s not. Only 23% of the bill is real infrastructure. The rest is Green New Deal and welfare. They told us the bill was paid for. It isn’t. We’re going to have to borrow maybe up to $400 billion to pay for it,” Kennedy went on to say.

A total of 54 percent of voters disagreed with the statement, which was unattributed in the survey question.
