MAY 19, 2020: Voters are evenly divided about what is the greatest threat from the coronavirus pandemic ([link removed]) . A Scott Rasmussen ([link removed]) national survey found that 47% of registered voters are most concerned about the health threat while another 47% are primarily concerned about the economic threat.[1] ([link removed])
This is the third consecutive week of polling that has found an even divide. Two weeks ago, a slight plurality was more concerned about the economic threat. Last week, a slight plurality was more concerned about the economic threat.[1] ([link removed])
Sixty-five percent (65%) of Republicans ([link removed]) worry more about the economic threat while 64% of Democrats ([link removed]) take the opposite view. Independent ([link removed]) voters are evenly divided. While there are modest differences along various demographic lines, partisanship is the strongest indicator of an individual's perceptions on this topic.[1] ([link removed])
Men, by a 50% to 45% margin, are more worried about the economy. Women, by a 49% to 44% margin, are more worried about health issues.[1] ([link removed])
Rural voters are somewhat more worried about the economy while urban voters are a bit more likely to worry about the health aspects of the pandemic.[1] ([link removed])
