APRIL 28, 2020: Twenty-three percent (23%) of voters nationwide now believe the worst of the pandemic ([link removed]) is behind us. That's up seven points from just 16% two weeks ago.[1] ([link removed])
A Scott Rasmussen ([link removed]) national survey also found that 49% believe the worst is still to come. That's down 11 points from 60% in the earlier survey.[1] ([link removed])
The survey also found that, if infected by the coronavirus, 24% of registered voters nationwide are not confident they could receive appropriate medical treatment. That's down from 30% two weeks ago. The number who are Not At All Confident about access to treatment has fallen from 10% to 6%.[1] ([link removed]) [2] ([link removed])
The partisan divide remains significant and most of the increased confidence comes from Republicans.
Sixty percent (60%) of Democrats ([link removed]) believe the worst is yet to come, down from 72% earlier. Among independent ([link removed]) voters, 52% now believe the worst days remain ahead of us (down from 58%).[1] ([link removed])
However, Republicans perceive things much differently. By a 43% to 35% margin, a plurality of GOP voters now believes the worst is behind us. Two weeks ago, just 28% of Republicans thought the worst was behind us. Forty-nine percent (49%) believed the worst was still to come.[1] ([link removed])
