Priorities USA’s poll measured support for the COVID-19 relief package among swing voters in eight battleground states. In the survey, 69% of respondents who split their ticket in the 2020 election between Trump and down-ballot Democratic candidates supported the bill.

Meanwhile, 83% of those surveyed who split their ticket last November between Biden and GOP candidates backed the bill.

The poll also found that 61% of voters who backed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Trump in 2020 approved of the legislation. And among those who voted for Trump in 2016 but switched to Biden in 2020, 84% supported the bill.

Overall, 75% of swing voters backed the legislation, according to the survey.

Priorities USA conducted the poll amid a larger examination of the 2020 election. The survey was conducted online from Feb. 3 to Feb. 15, among 800 swing voters in eight battleground states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — who had switched their partisan allegiance since 2016 or split their ticket between the two parties.

and people remember who voted for and against the bill.

This could help keep the momentum of 2018-20 going through the 22 mid-terms.

5. It was hated for different reasons from different sides...

Those on the left hated it for not going far enough. If they had stuck with it, they could have held the majority and perhaps built on it.
