'That’s good news for Trump': Republicans are less concerned about coronavirus than Democrats
Washington Examiner, Mar 17, 2020

Republican voters are less concerned about the coronavirus pandemic, offering President Trump some measure of political cover as the November elections approach amid an accelerating public health crisis that is pushing the economy toward recession.

Approximately 40% of self-identified Republicans fear that an acquaintance or family member might contract COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, compared to a whopping two-thirds of Democratic voters, according to public opinion polls conducted this month. This lopsided partisan split, which holds across several issues related to the pandemic, could help Trump weather the political fallout as nearly every aspect of American society grind to a screeching halt.

“Republicans are solidly sticking by him,” said John Couvillon, a Republican pollster in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “They’re not going to be affected by whatever happens with the coronavirus pandemic.”

The effects of the coronavirus pandemic on life in the United States, and around the world, are fast-moving and evolving, and voter attitudes are hard to predict. But in poll after poll over the past couple of weeks, Republican voters have proven more resistant than Democrats to the concept that this is a dangerous crisis necessitating drastic changes in public behavior.
