And 80% believe that the worst of the outbreak is yet to come.
More than one in five people said they personally know someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19, according to a new CNN poll published Wednesday, which is double the number who said so in a Washington Post/ABC News poll just two weeks ago.
The CNN survey was conducted by SSRS from April 3-6 among a random national sample of 1,002 adults. And concerns over the virus, which has now sickened more than 400,000 Americans and killed more than 13,000 in the U.S., also continue to spread. Just under half of those surveyed expect it is “somewhat likely” that they or someone in their family will contract COVID-19, and 80% believe that the worst of the outbreak is yet to come.Most Americans feel somewhat prepared to handle a coronavirus diagnosis in their family, but only about a third are “very confident” in their ability to get medical treatment for coronavirus if they need it — and that varies widely by race, income and political party.
Opinions on how the federal government has handled the outbreak were also split along party lines, surprise surprise, with 80% of Republicans saying the government has done a good job, and 85% of Democrat saying the government has done a poor job.
