http://COVIDstates.org  1/N

Some interesting findings:

1) Large, bipartisan, majorities still reluctant about reopening now; but there is a widening partisan divide on this. 2/N

2) Even as states begin to reopen, most (58%) of Americans say they will stick to staying home.

3/N

3) COVID-approval for the President and Governors is drifting downwards-- 3 points for the President, and 6 points for Governors (on average). 4/N

4) HUGE differences wrt to income/education in terms of economic impact

Lower income/education much more likely to be laid off, and if working, to not be working at home.

5/N

5) Big differences in health-related concerns. Non-white Americans much more concerned about getting sick, and about having access to healthcare. 6/N

6) Compliance with COVID-related behaviors has relaxed across a series of behaviors; but with one major exception: more people are wearing face masks. 7/N

7) Here too there are partisan divides, but solid majorities adhering to recommended behaviors among both parties.
8/N

8) Trust in scientists/health care provides remains very high. Political figures far less so...

9/N

9) A large majority supports making it easier to vote by mail, including a plurality of Republicans.
