Americans’ Opinions about the COVID-19 Pandemic

On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, we break down the latest national NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll results on the COVID-19 pandemic. Are Americans concerned about the spread of the virus in their local communities? Do they think the virus is a real threat or being blown out of proportion? From whom do they trust to receive information about the pandemic? We have the answers and look at who is driving those opinions. Then, a look at the presidential contest in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. And, don’t forget to check out our series of free, short online courses. It’s called The Marist Poll Academy. About Poll Hub Poll Hub goes behind the science to explain how polling works, what polls really show, and what the numbers really mean. Poll Hub is produced by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, home of America’s leading independent college public opinion poll, The Marist Poll. Lee Miringoff (Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion), Barbara Carvalho (Director of the Marist Poll), and Jay DeDapper (Director of Innovation at the Marist Poll) dig deep to give you a look at the inner workings of polls and what they tell us about our world, our country, and ourselves.
