APRIL 29, 2020: Thirty-three percent (33%) of voters believe that, in responding to the pandemic ([link removed]) , government officials have not gone far enough. However, a Scott Rasmussen ([link removed]) national survey found that 20% believe they have gone too far. A plurality–41%–believes the balance has been about right.[1] ([link removed])
These numbers reflect a significant shift since late March. At that time, 41% believed government officials had not gone far enough while just 14% believed they had gone too far.[2] ([link removed])
Forty percent (40%) of Republicans ([link removed]) believe the balance has been about right along with 43% of Democrats ([link removed]) and 38% of independents ([link removed]) .
However, beneath that apparent common ground, there are significant partisan differences.
* Thirty-six percent (36%) of Republicans believe the government actions have gone too far while only 18% say not far enough.
* Democrats see it much differently–44% say not far enough while just 8% believe they have already gone too far.
* Among independents, 34% say not far enough and 19% say too far.[1] ([link removed])
