GOP not worried about voting against popular relief bill
The White House on Thursday touted a poll from the left-leaning firm Navigator Research that found majority support, including from a majority of Republicans, for passing a relief package that included items such as economic stimulus and vaccine funding. The White House said the poll was consistent with others from places like CBS News and Quinnipiac University. […] A key provision in the bill, and one that has substantial public support, involves the $1,400 stimulus payments. In the Navigator Research poll, the majority of Americans, including half of Republicans, called the direct payments the most convincing reason to pass the bill.
