The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
August 28, 2020: Forty-three percent (43%) of voters say the coronavirus pandemic has caused serious financial problems for them or a member of their immediate family. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that total includes 60% of Hispanic voters, 53% of Black voters, and 37% of white voters.[1]
The financial hardships have impacted more than twice as many people as the health problems. Twenty percent (20%) say the coronavirus has caused serious health issues for them or a member of their immediate family.[1]
Interestingly, despite the fact that the virus represents a far greater risk to older Americans, young people are far more likely to report a serious health impact. Among senior citizens, just 10% say the pandemic has caused a serious health issue for their family. Among voters under 45, that figure is nearly three times as high at 27%.[1]
