Republicans & Democrats agree on one thing—the need for generous COVID-19 relief
- polka_haunts_us 6y agoFor anyone about to read the headline and jump straight to the comment section: The team found strong bipartisan support for a new COVID-19 relief package, with Republican voters favoring a hypothetical candidate who supports a $500 billion pandemic appropriation over one who opposes it by 11 points, independents by 12 points, and Democrats by 18 points. So the hypothetical "generous" Covid-19 relief being polled in this article is smaller than the one proposed by a group of Republican senators that Biden basically dismissed out of hand as being too small. Basically, if you're a Washington Post editorial writer trying to justify how Biden's plan is Bipartisan despite no known support from any Republican congresspeople, this is not the evidence you're looking for.
