63% of Americans support the idea of new stimulus checks to combat inflation

As Newsweek reported, a recent poll indicated that almost two-thirds of Americans are in favor of the federal government providing additional stimulus checks to help them combat inflation.

The study, conducted for Newsweek by market research consultant Redfield & Wilton Strategies, polled 1,500 eligible American voters between Oct. 23-24, 2022 — and found that 63% of respondents would support the federal government issuing new inflation checks.

The first stimulus check issued was for $1,200 in Apr. 2020, followed by a second for $600 in Dec. 2020-Jan. 2021. The last payment, for $1,400, was issued by the IRS to qualified Americans in Mar. 2021,
