Number of the Day: 59 percent of voters think it’s time to adapt to the pandemic and move forward

September 2, 2020: Fifty-nine percent (59%) of voters nationwide believe it’s time to move forward by adapting to the ongoing nature of the pandemic. A Scott Rasmussen survey found that 31% take the opposite view and believe it is better for America to lockdown again until the pandemic is completely behind us.[1]

Eighty-one percent (81%) of Republicans believe it is time to adapt and move forward. So do 54% of independent voters.[1]

Democrats, however, are evenly divided. Forty-six percent (46%) believe more lockdowns are needed while 44% prefer moving forward by adapting to the ongoing nature of the pandemic.[1]

By a 63% to 27% margin, white voters believe it is time to move forward. Other voters are more evenly divided.[1]
