More than two in five Americans feel stimulus checks should be worth $2,000 or more, indicating agreement with President Donald Trump's comments earlier this week, according to a new poll.Conducted by Business Insider/Survey Monkey, the survey found 43 percent of respondents saying that the direct payments sent to eligible Americans should be over three times the $600 being offered in the current stimulus package.Additionally, the poll found 62 percent of Americans saying that the $600 checks were too small; 76 percent saying that the checks should be $1,000 or more; and just 20 percent saying the checks should be less than $600.Business Insider/Survey Monkey polled 1,123 Americans on December 21.
