Memo: Voters Want Economic Relief—Now
By Morgan Sperry Analyst, Data for Progress and Ethan Winter Senior Analyst, Data for Progress
Executive Summary
A majority of likely voters agree that when it comes to passing additional economic relief, the United States cannot afford to wait, and want more economic legislation passed — even after being told Congress passed a rescue bill in March.
Likely voters under the age of 45 and likely voters of color are particularly supportive of additional economic relief. Overall, two-thirds of voters under 45, more than two-thirds of Black voters, and three-fifths of Latinx voters support passing more economic legislation immediately.
A strong majority of likely voters support an economic recovery package, even as the price tag increases. Specifically, the passage of an economic recovery bill is supported by a majority of likely voters when no dollar figure is attached, and at a $4 trillion and $10 trillion figure.
