75% Of Manufacturers Say They Like Biden’s Industrial Policies, But It Doesn’t Mean They’re Biden Voters

Contradictions abound on politics, economics and the environment in the latest poll of the sector’s leaders by Forbes, Xometry and Zogby.

Three-quarters of manufacturing executives think current federal policy on manufacturing — a cornerstone of President Biden’s economic agenda — strengthens their sector, according to a new poll by Forbes, Xometry and Zogby. Yet they’re split over which party would bring about a manufacturing renaissance, with 36% picking Republicans and 35% choosing Democrats, and nearly half (47%) siding with Trumponomics, versus one-third (34%) with Bidenomics, when asked about the underlying policies without using those nicknames.
