A partisan divide over coronavirus has widened in POLITICO/Morning Consult polling over the past month, increasingly leaving Republican voters in the minority
Republican voters have undergone a significant shift on the coronavirus in a few short weeks.
“As Congress reconvenes, a sharp political divide continues, as Republicans are increasingly more concerned with the pandemic's economic impact, though a plurality of voters feel the country is reopening too quickly,” said Tyler Sinclair, vice president at Morning Consult. But the partisan split is vast and colors public opinion on the virus and the government response: Democrats say they are more worried about public health, 72 percent to 16 percent, but Republicans are more concerned about the economy, 55 percent to 38 percent.Similarly, voters say by a 2-to-1 margin that it’s more important for the government to address the spread of the virus than the economy, 60 percent to 30 percent.
