Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for April 23, 2020
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
April 23, 2020: Forty-six percent (46%) of registered U.S. voters want decisions about re-opening the country after the coronavirus to be made by state and local officials. Only 15% think the call should be made by the president and federal officials.[1]
The latest Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen also found that both federal and local officials should be part of the decision making process.
Sixty-four percent (64%) of liberal voters want decisions made by state and local officials. However, a plurality of conservatives (44%) believe both levels should play a role.[1] Presumably, that’s because they want the president to play some role in the process, especially given the tension about how and when to re-open society.
