"This new polling shows that voters across the political spectrum see relief packages passed and government spending up until this point as only a down payment on a full recovery," @clairecmarkham in #ProsperUS statement on why voters want more relief. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2021/05/10/us-voters-want-much-more-covid-19-relief-and-they-want-it-now-poll

@DataProgress @Groundwork: 61% of voters (& majority of independents) support $10 trillion in investments. (yes, $10!) https://twitter.com/Groundwork/status/1391825905845252098
NEW POLL: A majority of likely voters agree—we can’t afford to wait to pass more economic relief measures & need more relief now.
By a +33-point margin, voters support a $10 trillion recovery package per polling from #ProsperUS @GND_Network @DataProgress. https://www.dataforprogress.org/memos/voters-want-economic-relief-now
