If you only listened to the angry protesters demanding that the government let them get the coronavirus, or the White House senior staff, or one of the dumbest governors in the nation, you might think that a majority of Americans backed Donald Trump’s push to “reopen” the country ASAP and “LIBERATE” citizens from the shackles of social distancing. That, in turn, might lead you to think that a majority of Americans were crazy, given that people staying home is the number one reason the death toll prediction for COVID-19 has been revised downward to “only” some 60,000. And that would be a sad thing to think of one’s fellow citizens! Yet as it turns out, the people insisting that social distancing is a violation of their civil rights, and that the fight to loosen restrictions is on par with the actions of Rosa Parks, represent but a small, arguably insane minority.

In real life, according to a poll conducted by the Washington Post and the University of Maryland’s Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement, most people think it will be June or longer before it’s safe for large gatherings to occur.

Asked when people expect the outbreak to be controlled enough that people can safely attend gatherings of 10 or more people, just 10% predict such gatherings would be safe by the end of April or earlier, while another 21% expect them to be safe by the end of May. More than twice as many—65%—say it may take until June or later for people to safely gather in groups of 10 or more. Partisans divide on this question, with 77% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents saying they expect public gatherings will not be safe until June or later, compared with 51% of Republicans and Republican leaners who say the same. Yet Republicans split depending on personal health concerns.

These results unsurprisingly came in as more and more people developed a personal connection to the deadly disease. The poll found that 26% of adults knew someone who had been diagnosed with the coronavirus, up from 11% in mid-to-late March, while 14% said they knew someone who had been hospitalized, and 9% knew someone who had died from it. Also unsurprising: A majority of Americans think Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis has sucked, with 54% giving him negative marks for his job on the outbreak. (On the flip side, 72% of Americans gave governors of their states a thumbs-up for the way they’ve tackled it, news that is sure to chap Trump’s hide.)

Meanwhile, in a poll conducted by Axios and research firm Ipsos, a whopping 92% of people said they were practicing social distancing, which doesn’t bode well for the president’s push to get things back to normal by May 1. Among those who do want a seemingly premature return to daily life, most are Republicans who apparently get their data from Fox News or politicians like Brian Kemp. “Republicans are less proximate to [the crisis],” said Cliff Young, president of Ipsos U.S. Public Affairs. “They’re less likely to live in the big urban centers. But it has less to do with their proximity to it and much more to do with where they get their information from, and that they take their cues from their political leaders.” In other words, if you think guzzling hydroxychloroquine can cure COVID-19, you’re probably all about getting the country back to business ASAP.
