(Screenshot\/YouTube\/The Hill)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Conservative respondents predominantly favored the first option. Sixty-five percent of Republican voters and 72% of those who said they voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election cast unemployment benefits as the reason people are not returning to work despite a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elerianm\/status\/1390627815633129475\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">growing number of job openings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The trend was somewhat reversed with respect to Democrat voters. Only 31% of those who self-identified as Democrats named unemployment benefits as the reason, while a majority, 36%, said both the benefits and poor working conditions have contributed to the phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>The $1.9 trillion relief package passed by Congress in March&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/05\/democratic-disagreement-biden-relief-covid-manchin-unemployment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extended unemployment benefit payments<\/a>&nbsp;of $300 through September.
