As the number of cases rose in the United States, the Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape Survey expanded to better understand how the outbreak influenced the lives and perspectives of Americans. This page tracked data from March 2020 to February 2021.

Did Americans Approve of President Trump's Response?
Approval of the president's handling of the COVID-19 outbreak
Democracy Fund Voter Study Group
Source: Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape Survey. Data collected between March 19, 2020 and January 12, 2021, excluding December 31, 2020 through February 3, 2021.
Note: Data collected between March 19 and April 1 did not include a "not sure" response option. Estimates for later waves have been recalculated as the percentage of respondents who did not say "not sure" in order to maintain trend.
The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States became one of the most economically and socially disruptive events in living memory. Approval of the president’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak decreased during the initial and second summer spikes in case numbers, but stabilized in the subsequent months.
There were large partisan differences in how the president’s actions were perceived. While Republican approval was high, fewer Independents and Democrats approved of the president’s handling of the outbreak.

Democracy Fund Voter Study Group
Source: Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape Survey. Data collected between March 19, 2020 and February 3, 2021, excluding December 31, 2020 through January 11, 2021.
The majority of Americans supported the measures taken by state and local governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the strength of this support dwindled over time. Bipartisan consensus was present for the most actionable preventative measures, such as working from home and temperature checks in public places. Other measures that restricted personal choice, such as the restriction of non-essential travel away from home, were more divisive. The largest divergence of opinion between Democrats and Republicans occurred when respondents were asked about the closure of bars and restaurants.

Source: Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape Survey. Data collected between March 19, 2020 and February 3, 2021, excluding December 31, 2020 through January 11, 2021.
As Americans grew more cognizant of the pandemic, many adjusted their usual habits to minimize the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. When thinking about the past week, the majority of Americans said they wore a mask and socialized with people they don’t live with while observing social distancing rules. Overall, partisan differences were relatively small but were largest when it came to socializing with others without maintaining social distance.
