More Americans worry about losing wages, covering costs as coronavirus spreads, poll finds
in early March — though a tally of roughly 10 million new jobless claims over two weeks indicates the economic destruction is much worse than the employment report showed.
Meanwhile, 82% of likely swing state voters said they were more worried about about their family's health and safety than their family's financial situation, while 18% said the opposite.Fears about lost wages spiked, as 65% see it as a very or somewhat serious concern in April, versus 35% in March. In the April survey, 30% of likely voters in the six states said they have lost wages because of the coronavirus. Meanwhile, 27% responded that they have seen fewer hours at work and 11% answered that they have lost their job.
Congress gets poorer marks: 64% of respondents somewhat or strongly disapprove of how U.S. lawmakers have responded to coronavirus. The U.S. legislature has passed three emergency response bills, the most recent of which put $2 trillion into health-care aid, direct payments to individuals, small business loans and loans and grants to corporations.
