AUGUST 31, 2020: In terms of bringing people together, 48% of voters nationwide believe the better policy approach is giving more individual freedom for people to establish their own guidelines for social interaction. However, a Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 34% disagree and believe it would be better to have more government involvement to establish fair rules and guidelines for social interaction.[1] ([link removed])

Other data from the survey showed that 93% believe it is important for our leaders to focus on things that bring people together. Additionally, 73% believe that America’s founding ideals of freedom, equality, and self-governance are a good foundation for bringing people together and unifying the nation.[2] ([link removed])

On the policy side, there is a significant generation gap. By a 52% to 29% margin, older voters (45+) believe allowing more freedom is the way to bring people together. Voters under 45 are evenly divided—42% say more freedom and 40% more government rules.[1] ([link removed])

Republicans strongly prefer more freedom as the answer. Independent voters, by a 47% to 29% margin, agree.[1] ([link removed])

However, a narrow plurality of Democrats take the opposite view. Forty-four percent (44%) think more government rules governing social interactions are needed. Thirty-eight percent (38%) of Democrats prefer more freedom.[1] ([link removed])

There is an interesting racial divide among Democrats. By a 47% to 36% margin, Black Democrats think more freedom is the answer. However, by a 46% to 35% margin, other Democrats believe more rules are the better approach.[1] ([link removed])

Among all voters, there is virtually no racial divide on this question.[1] ([link removed])
