Most swing state voters support extending $600 weekly unemployment benefit, CNBC/Change Research poll finds

The Republican legislation would slash the extra federal unemployment benefit to $200 per week, on top of what recipients get from states, through September. It would then shift to a 70% replacement of an individual's previous wages.

The GOP plan for direct payments largely mirrors the one Congress passed in March as part of a $2 trillion rescue package. It would send up to $1,200 to individuals, and $2,400 to couples who make less than $198,000. It would also provide $500 per dependent, regardless of age.

ChangePolls 🤣 poll on if people like free money. What do you expect people to say no to free money?

ChangePolls 20% said no thanks , keep your money?

ChangePolls Yes CNBC, idiots that don't understand economics think that printing unlimited amounts of fiat currency is a great idea. They also believe in Santa.

ChangePolls How about every time there's a record-breaking day at Wall Street you do a food bank? Ask Jerome Powell to chip in some money, because he seems to have all the money in the world for the stock market.

ChangePolls I have neighbors that have a business that’s doing great during this pandemic. They were shocked when they got their first $1200 and probably will be again when the next shows up. Goes to show $$ not necessarily going where it’s needed.

ChangePolls Neo Cons know trump going to lose so.. they're going to worry about the budget

ChangePolls Never thought people would want free money. Your NBC is showing —pathetic.

ChangePolls Of course, who doesn’t want free money?

ChangePolls Sadly, this will become the new litmus test every four years if it equals votes. 'How much stimulus you gonna give me, and how often? If it's more than candidate x, then I'll vote for you'.

ChangePolls Of course a majority of people want a $1,200. check.

ChangePolls Booo!

ChangePolls Is this the dumbest survey ever? Do you want free money?!? I could’ve answered this for you without a survey.

ChangePolls free money should not be so popular lol

ChangePolls That is because no one is telling them what it will cost them.

ChangePolls Sure free money why not

ChangePolls Id imagine republicans best playbook is to back the democratic plan, then blame the dems for giving them no other option, they have the perfect put if they can pull their heads out their asses

ChangePolls CNBC: We hired pollsters to see if free money was popular 😂😂

ChangePolls The small business bailout benefits gobbled by profitable billionaires need to be recovered and given to the people directly

ChangePolls So they support UBI. Lol gee it doesn’t take a genius to know that it works.

ChangePolls Everyone loves FREE money!!!!!!!

ChangePolls GOP, dumb

ChangePolls What I’d like to know is how do we pay for all this? What’s the national debt now? How many trillions? I’ve lost track. Or is it really debt or simply the FEDS printing or authorizing cash to be created? If it is debt we’ll have severe problems if interest rates go up.

ChangePolls Meaning dems will try to prevent it from happening lol

ChangePolls Trump checks going out again - Great

ChangePolls QE for people direct, as consumer they will spend the money. Quantitative easing for people.

ChangePolls Really...duh...free money but it is really not. There is a real possibility this nation will be lost. The Dems want low information voters and they got it. Weimar Republic here we come...wait is that a brand of hot dog?

ChangePolls 95% of voters support million dollar checks being sent to them on a monthly basis.

ChangePolls CNBC is pandering to the swing states for votes. Ted Cruz said that NBC is the most corrupt of all and they don’t care that people know it.

ChangePolls Lose the F35 money and the Federal building money

ChangePolls Mnuchin will just have to print Trump's face on the notes this time like a real dictator to get his desired effect

ChangePolls You don't say---

ChangePolls Make it $100k per month. Print it!

ChangePolls Provide parents with guidelines for homeschooling, fire all the teachers, and pay a stipend to the parents from the funds not going to teachers. Problem solved.

ChangePolls Question: Would you like $600.00? Answer: Yes ...never would have guessed.🙄

ChangePolls i bet if it was a $1,000, $1,500 or whatever. its free

ChangePolls Ya I never want to work again either. Just loot and pillage and get 600 a week
