In all major political groups, most people say they support shelter-in-place orders to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a recent poll.
As of Thursday, the U.S. has confirmed more than 850,000 coronavirus cases, including more than 47,000 deaths, according to data compiled byPublic sentiment about the future of the COVID-19 pandemic's toll on the U.S. has shifted markedly in the past few weeks, according to the poll. Only about half of the respondents now say"the worst is yet to come" — compared with 74% who held that opinion in late March.
The new poll was conducted over several days, including April 16 – the day President Trump laid out guidelines for states to reopen. This week, the

And the other 2 are Republicans.
I wonder how many of those polled are essential workers who haven't lost their jobs because of the COVID-19 scare. Those of us who are still working probably have a different POV than folks stuck at home without a paycheck.

Sheep
Lol 8/10 people aren’t sheltering in place.
*normal people. *informed people. *concious people.
Fake news!!! 8 out of 10 people don't believe your 'news'
Staying home doesn’t equate to staying healthy. When ever, have we quarantined a healthy population. Lies will be uncovered and the people will have their day.
Where were the people that were polled? Mostly urban? Spread evenly amongst urban and rural? The impact of the virus is vastly different depending on where you live.
I would rather this be the hourly news loop rather than the pathetic “a hundred people “ protest stories.
Until they run out of money for basics or realize the federal debt this creates will result in cutting funding to their favorite programs and increasing their taxes.
How does a poor country like Vietnam avoid deaths from COVID 19 while the NYC mayor causes the infection of millions and deaths to tens of thousands? Reckless public endangerment and death by the NYC mayor is criminal.
Why are 2 in 10 protesting and opposing safe isolation getting a larger share of news coverage?
Why so many Qanon freaks on this thread?

thirdmanbooks Vietnam and Taiwan did the best. The US should have followed their examples but we have weak, negligent leadership and a fragmented, largely ignorant populace.
Majorities of all major political groups say they support the stay-at-home orders, although that sentiment is stronger among Democrats (94% approve the idea) and independents (84%) than Republicans (61%), according to the poll.
If you believe this poll or anything NPR has to say, then I have some lovely Kansas beachfront property to sell you.
Of course only the selfish wouldn't
I don’t believe this is true.
Where? I don’t know any
AG Barr, Americans don’t believe they are under house arrest. They know they are following the science to protect themselves, their family, their neighbors, their community, their state and THEIR UNITED STATES. Back off! CNN JoeNBC NBCNews
Well those people are allowed to stay home, for the rest of us that don’t believe this trash, we want to work! And, is the plan to stay home until... oh thats right, there isn’t a plan...
But the popular vote never wins.
Liars.
TELL THE KAISER FAMILY TO STICK TO THE ROLLS...…
Let people decide. If you want to hide till it gone, go ahead! If you want to go to work, or to the mall, or to the park...go ahead. We’re all responsible for our own safety. If you think the government can or will protect you by keeping you locked up, stay locked up.
Guess I’m in the minority, but then nobody asked me.
8 of those people are still working and 2 are laid off.
Bull shit.
Experts say, fake news 🌈
Actually 8 in 10 don’t. Maybe you should broaden your sample beyond your sycophants
Yep, most people enjoy not being at risk of serious infectious disease.
thing is Americans WANT to stay safe and be healthy, but I don' think this country is incentivizing it enough. We're on our own. It's hard to stay home when the system mandates that we have to work and expose ourselves to the virus or else we become homeless.
This are the same folks sitting on there asses and wanting a free handout
Everyone I talk to locally and in several states think this is an overreach of government at this point not to mention illegal. Something is wrong with the whole picture. If your 8/10 can’t see it - either they don’t read and/or they have blinders on. The data is incorrect.
THANK you.
Bull shit!!
Let's listen to people doing ACTUAL science. Not disconnected ivory-tower bureaucrats with questionable motives.. BacktoWorkAmerica CoronaVirusUpdate
💯 agree. I not coming out until I think it’s safe. SocialDistancing
Fake news
As we can all see by now it now entirely depends on what poliical party one supports whether one supports the continued shutdown or not.
There is hope for us yet!
That was a sample of 1202 surveyed. You could say your headline is misleading.
And where did you take the survey and how big was it 1200 people? and if it was in the liberal states yeah they're going along with the media BTW your immune system declines when you shelter in. It's a fact it's a medical scientific fact
8 in 10. That means there has to be a good number of people in that ratio who agrees with the idea of being safe even if they can’t go back to work.
Which Americans did they poll? Please...
That gives me some comfort. But 20 out of every 100 don't think It's worth it? It's really a high number when you think about it. it's contagious, so that's a whole Lot of infecting.
Media has peddled fear..people have bought in.
Open everything up. You sick or scared stay home and don't let anyone over.
RichardLBond1 It's the other 20% of morons that are going to force the 'stay at home' orders to remain in place longer than necessary !! They don't get that !! Keep making it worse with your dangerous gatherings !!
1200 people surveyed....nice
mama_bird_of7 The 2 in 10 will likely die off.
Democrats
FakeNewsEpidemic
Great song by Live.
Wtf!!
Where's the relief money?
SidAntommarchi As long as I have food and shelter what does it matter?
Of course it is!!
Donald J Trump is now the leading cause of death in the United States
97% of those infected survive the virus. COVID-19 sadly is more dangerous for the elderly & health comprised just like the flu. There are safe treatments available but FakeNews like NPR is vested in scaring people.
No way.
If it's not for living, I can lay bed till next spring😇
. SOS!! Orange County, California officials allow thousands on beaches!! Selfish assholes...to say the least!!!!
Gdad1 Had EVERYONE sheltered in place this virus would have been all but wiped out! But that takes EVERYONE!
montrealdesign but what does the Soze Family Foundation say ?
Yet 8 in 10 Republicans are supporting exposing everyone to the virus and curing them with injections of disinfectants. TidePodPresident GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPDeathCult TrumpOwnsEveryDeath
Is that a Scientology sign? I guess it's missing the word out.
I agree 100%
You know that at a minimum it's a 50-50 ratio. So get out of here with that 80-20 B.S.
This is how Trump is caught between a rock and a hard place; he keeps the country closed and has to contest an economics election, or reopens it and risks backlash from the ~20% of these folks who are in his base, but who want to stay safe.
Thank heavens! I'm curious, what else do so many agree on?
If the corona virus is indeed real and deadly, there will be a massive death toll amongst the dumb. I hope the virus is harmless but i'll prepare as if it's genuine 👍
8 in 10 Americans are idiots.
We are a nation of Karens. If the government said they needed to take everyone’s first born for public safety most people would go along with it, particularly if it was someone from their team giving the order (Red/Blue).
And 2 in 10 Americans are so weak they can't go 3 weeks without a free iced tea refill from Waffle House before they break down and start crying like children.
Must be the same 8/10ths that have a job still, or can work from home.... The other 2/10ths can’t afford that luxury
Gdad1 Gee, if only we had testing , we could get back to living
How would compacting a bunch of people in a building stop covid-19! Gearing them up for a concentration camp! Lol A bunch of liars!
Our administration is trying to convince us otherwise
No actually we do NOT AGREE WITH THIS AT ALL!! No one I know does. fakenews
It is necessary! I'm StayAtHomeAndStaySafe
No they don't. Those numbers are skewed; especially as protests to these Stalinist orders continues in some parts of the country.
Not around here!! We have no virus and people want out! NOW!!
BS.
'Polls' = 'Settled Science' (apparently) 🤪
Yes. Common sense.
👎
Wait.... Only 8 people support shelter at home, no wonder there are 10s of people protesting. Good call on the coverage!
based on what information are the people casting their votes? I only see sensational stories on CNN or Fox. I wonder what the real corona risk is to children/youth/adults and how that compares to lost education, jobs, mental health, etc...
Poll Miami next.
It only makes sense right now to sheleter-in-place
That’s good.
The other 20% can serve as the 'test cases' - have fun at the gym!
It as usual trump and Barr say fu them.
Rarely am I pleasantly surprised by other people. Well done.
So now we make science based determinations through polling?
Forever!!!!!
