Berkeley IGS Poll
IGS poll data show that California voters became more polarized in their views of the pandemic between the spring and summer. Voters who approve and disapprove of Trump’s performance as President moved farther apart, not simply on questions about the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also on their beliefs about effective COVID-19 prevention measure
The IGS poll of California voters was conducted in April 2020 (n=8800) and again in July 2020 (n=8328).
