Did Democrats care more about racism than Covid?

Did Republicans value the economy over stopping the spread?

We asked over 1,000 Democrats and Republicans about their priorities during Fall 2020.

Here's what we found.

Covid vs Racism.

Most Democrats and Republicans said fighting Covid was more important than protesting against racism.

About 15% of Democrats said protesting racism was more important. Image
Covid vs Economy.

People largely agreed with 80% of Democrats and over 60% of Republicans saying that fighting Covid was more important than reducing the unemployment rate. Image

What beliefs do politically intolerant people have?

Are politically tolerant people more or less concerned about political conflict than their intolerant neighbours?

We conducted survey research to address these questions.

Here's what we found.

#politics #immigration Image
#Intolerance

We asked people how irritated they'd be if a member of their most opposed political party was dating a member of their family, their neighbor, co-worker, or local elected official.

Avg answer = tolerance score. We limited this sample to most and least tolerant.
#ForeignAid

"The United States government should provide financial
support to people in other countries who are in need."

The most intolerant group was more likely to agree than the least intolerant. Image
