Poll: Half of Americans financially affected by coronavirus

Fifty percent of Americans said they or someone in their household has either lost hours or a job because of coronavirus, up from 18% a month ago. And the pandemic is having a harsher economic effect on people of color, those without a college degree, younger people and those who make less money.

Of non-whites, 60% said they or someone in their household has lost hours or a job, compared to 43% of whites; 55% percent of those without a degree, those under 45 and those making less than $50,000 a year also said so…

Eighty percent or more of people who responded do not want schools, restaurants or large sporting events to start taking place as normal again until there is further testing. And two-thirds don’t want Americans to physically go back to work without that widespread testing, but a majority of Republicans do.
