A whopping 84% of Americans say they want a second stimulus check, with only 16% reporting that a second round of stimulus checks are not necessary.

Only 22% of voter respondents indicate a belief that too much money has already been spent on relief for the impact of COVID-19.

These polls are always lopsided and wrong. It's hard to take them seriously. It's the people who run these magazines best interest to try to persuade public opinion by using fake polls.

Yeah, I'm a little confused - how can 160 million Americans be 3 months from running out of money...if only 20 million are unemployed?


More: 26% would save it - and 33% would donate some of it to charity!



Most disturbing: A whopping 44% agree that people should get MORE on Unemployment than their regular pay.


I'm not sure which Americans are the idiots - anyone who believes this survey, or the 350 people they asked. That's right. 350 people = "84% of Americans..."



If it were truly representative - then only 70 of them would have been unemployed, no?

So a not so sharp journalist says most Americans are idiots, using bad math and sloppy methods?

LOL got it.

MSM polls are garbage. They probably still think Hillary should have won by a landslide

The poll sucks - but the fact remains, lots of folks think they should get a raise on UI - that is baffling.

CNN just lied on a national poll about vaccines.

So I never trust these silly polls.

Look how many want a monthly check for doing nothing. They want a "basic income" because they can fog a mirror.

I don't trust the poll, in that sense - but just look at the raw data. Unless they're flat-out manufacturing the info (maybe that's what you meant) - there is indeed a segment of folks who feel that way. Weird.


Some things are just not up for popular vote.
