The percentage of voters who are "extremely concerned" about a local coronavirus outbreak has increased markedly in the past several weeks, but Republicans continue to be a remarkably insular demographic, with just 21% expressing extreme concern compared to 43% overall (including 65% of Democrats and 38% of independents).

The results from the most recent Civiqs survey conducted March 28-30 represented a roughly two-fold increase in extreme concern across party lines compared to the same question from the March 8-11 Civiqs survey. Self-identified Republicans' extreme concern moved from 7% to 21% in that 3-week period, Democrats’ moved from 33% to 65% and Independents’ moved from 17% to 38%. But Republican voters continue to have a completely different view of the epidemic, and notably are even less concerned about a local outbreak than frequent Fox News watchers, 26% of whom expressed extreme concern about an outbreak in their area.
