Most swing state voters support extending the $600 weekly unemployment benefit, the latest CNBC/ChangePolls survey finds.
The Republican legislation would slash the extra federal unemployment benefit to $200 per week, on top of what recipients get from states, through September. It would then shift to a 70% replacement of an individual's previous wages.
The GOP plan for direct payments largely mirrors the one Congress passed in March as part of a $2 trillion rescue package. It would send up to $1,200 to individuals, and $2,400 to couples who make less than $198,000. It would also provide $500 per dependent, regardless of age.
