Marylanders continue to diverge ideologically when it comes to responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new Goucher Poll results released Tuesday morning.
Overall, state residents are divided in their level of concern about themselves or a close family member getting COVID-19. Fifty-three percent are “very” or “somewhat” concerned, and 47% are “not at all” or “a little” concerned.
At this time last year, 71% of residents were “very” or “somewhat” concerned.
Democrats and unaffiliated voters remain more concerned about the spread: 59% of Democrats and 51% of independents said they were very or somewhat concerned, compared to 39% of Republicans.
The Goucher College Poll surveyed 635 Maryland adults, including 593 registered voters, from March 1 to 6, and has a margin of error of about 3.9 percentage points. Continue reading at Maryland Matters.
