UCLA poll shows overwhelming numbers of people in Los Angeles County anxious about contracting COVID-19 and the financial burden of staying at home.
A new poll of Angelenos reflects the region’s unnerving descent into sudden urban desolation as the coronavirus pandemic spreads.
Overall, 78% of county residents surveyed told researchers they were “very” or “somewhat” concerned that they or a family member might catch the virus, which has infected more than 6,000 in the county andEven more, 83%, say they fear the economic impact from those closures, which are expected to continue for weeks., a retired L.A. County supervisor and onetime L.A. City Councilman who oversaw the poll.
The results were largely consistent across the all demographic groups. “It’s overwhelming,” Yaroslavsky said.The poll of 1,500 residents is part of the school’s annual quality of life survey, which this year included four questions about the coronavirus. The results appear consistent with what’s evident across the county, where residents have largely heeded warnings to stay home and in the city of L.A.
When assessing government response, the UCLA poll found 61% expressing confidence in local public health and government officials, versus only 39% for the federal government.
