Title: Nearly half of Americans blame Republicans and McConnell, and 32% blame Democrats and Pelosi for the lack of $2,000 stimulus checks, a new poll shows
Excerpt:First of all, based on the facts of what just happened, blaming Pelosi is absolutely crazy. She was a vocal cheerleader for the bill, and got it passed in as quickly as was reasonably possible considering that republicans put up some resistance to super quick approval.Nearly half of Americans believe that "Republicans in Congress and Senator Mitch McConnell" was to blame for the inability to pass the $2,000 stimulus checks, according to a new poll published by the progressive think tank Data for Progress.
Nearly one-third said the failure to pass the $2,000 checks was due to "Democrats in Congress and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi," according to the same poll.
House lawmakers voted in favor of bumping the second round stimulus checks to $2,000 from $600, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to consider a standalone bill to increase the check amount.
32% means that the republican base is 32%, and that these people will interpret everything as Trump and republicans good, democrats bad. 32% is lower than I would have expected. This is good news.
The other good news is: the $2k is framed yet once again as who is to blame. The underlying assumption is that it definitely should have been passed.
