Axios|SurveyMonkey poll: perceptions of coronavirus

Axios|SurveyMonkey poll: perceptions of coronavirus

A new Axios|SurveyMonkey poll finds some potentially pernicious partisan gaps on COVID-19 perceptions.  

The partisan divide includes assessments of the validity of news reports:

  • Fully 62% of Republicans see news reports about the seriousness of the novel coronavirus as “generally exaggerated,” DOUBLE the percentage of Democrats saying so (31%). 
  • Among independents, 35% see the reports as likely exaggerated, with more, 45%, saying they’re “generally correct” and another 16% indicating the seriousness of the outbreak is “generally underestimated.”

The party gap shows up in public views on how easily COVID-19 spreads: Overall, 39% of American adults see the virus as “very easily” spread, with Democrats 13-points more apt than Republicans to say so (47% to 34%).

Divisions also reveal themselves in professed likelihood to avoid:

  • Large events such as sporting events or concerts: Democrats 18-points more apt be at least somewhat likely to avoid, 67% to 49% for Republicans …
  • Public spaces such as restaurants, shopping malls, and theaters: Democrats 16-points more likely to steer clear, 53% to 37% for Republicans ...
  • Social gatherings at the homes of friends and families: Democrats 13-points more likely to avoid, 38% to 25% for Republicans.

But there is a point of lock-step: Among both Democrats and Republicans 22% see a potential federal mandate of 14-day self-quarantines for anyone exposed to COVID-19 as threatening to their personal rights and freedoms; far more, 77% in both groups would not see such danger in the move.
