A new analysis of Gallup data out last week shows a stark partisan contrast in how the public perceives the coronavirus threat to their personal health.

According to data from the Gallup Panel conducting research on public opinion throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Republicans were far less terrified of the novel Chinese virus than Democrats.

I could have told you that. Take where I live. In the burbs you do not see many with masks outside. Go to Chicago and everybody is wearing a mask on walking down the street.

Could this backfire on the Dems? Who is going to be more afraid to go to a polling place?

Be interesting to see party affiliation in those infected, infected w/o symptoms, infected with symptoms, etc.

Anytime you see someone driving a car, by themselves, wearing a mask.... it’s 95% certain to be a Democrat. They might as well have a Biden bumper sticker on the car.

Same applies to those who walk around outdoors with masks. Around the lower/middle class areas near me, I notice that practically all outdoor negroes wear masks.

A scared, misinformed and ignorant voter is a Democrat voter.

Most of them were anyway, even before the Chinese Bioweapon, but thousands of formerly sane people have succumbed to the fear (particularly Gullible Geezers) and that will show up in the voting data in 3 weeks. It’s already in the polling data but of course all of that is wrong.

Democrats are predisposed to hysteria

Many of the DEMs who say they are terrified of COVID-19 are saying so because they hate Trump. These people really want the masks to go away, but they can’t say that now.

Explains why Biden is pushing the CV agenda. His base is so scared and they want someone to protect them.

"When I was little, my granpappy had two outdoor negroes and three indoor negroes."

Seriously, your diction is reminiscent of "Gone with the Wind." Have a little more respect for our Black fellow citizens, will yuh?

Most dems probably feel the same towards conservatives.

Just they are so used to pulling the horsesh t cart, whatever the current dem narrative is...they'd never admit it.

They'll just continue parroting their programmers talking points till the day they die.

I live in Marin County California very wealthy white and super deeper blue area and nearly everybody all the time including the two and three-year-old children wear masks all the time and once in a while they’re stupid enough to say something to me as I’m riding my bike by not wearing a mask

I find the opposite to be true in Phoenix. We have a low black population, but half the people who don’t wear masks at the convenience store are black (the rest are middle aged white guys like me)

They are no more “afraid” of the virus than they are of “Nazis”. It’s all safe-space trigger warning nonsense they fake to boss everyone around.

Not to sound like a broken record, but if 70% to 80% of registered Democrats fear the China Virus, while only 20 to 30% of Republicans fear it, doesn’t that mean that there will be a Democrat drop-off in in-person voting? Guys, this is the story of the election that nobody is talking about. In NC, for example, the nearly 6-fold increase in mail balloting is NOT because of enthusiasm; it’s because of the China Virus (and Dems pushing all of their voters to vote by mail). I deal with “downscale” folks, including many African Americans, every day here in Maryland. These mostly Democrats are petrified, especially seniors and middle-aged black women. Republican seniors and affluent/super-voting Democrat seniors (black and white) have switched to mail voting. But what about the millions of downscale Democrat seniors who don’t request mail ballots? And what about Democrat GOTV efforts like busses and vans to polling places? Seniors are not going to crowd into busses. Guys, a significant chunk of black voters do NOT drive themselves to the polls. They get “dragged out” in GOTV busses, “Souls to the Polls,” etc. Or they get rides from friends, neighbors, etc. These pollsters who are predicting record turnout are nuts. They are basically affluent white people who don’t understand the fear that is out there among a significant chunk of the Democrat base.
