Stimulus checks are the overwhelming favorite among voters when asked what should be prioritized in the next coronavirus relief bill, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds.

Fifty-four percent of registered voters in the Jan. 28-29 survey said direct payments were among the top three most important measures for the next relief package. In terms of priorities, small business aid and money for COVID-19 testing and vaccinations were next on the list.

Stimulus checks were popular across party lines, garnering support from 60 percent of Democrats and 49 percent of Republicans.
