Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Instead, the nation is finally learning that the real beneficiaries of government aid are women like New Hampshire's Christina Darling, who is spending her monthly checks for $550 a month in the new expanded Child Tax Credit program on things like buying more fresh produce for her two kids.
45% : The myth of "the welfare queen" that flourished under Ronald Reagan, powered 40 years of Republican election victories and guided government policy as America largely dismantled its social safety net, is finally dead.
