WASHINGTON: The U. S. electorate went to the polls on Tuesday (November 3) radically divided over how they see President Donald Trump’s reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, but in places where the virus is most prevalent right now, Trump has gained great support.
An analysis through The Associated Press found that in 376 counties with a number of new cases consistent with the capita, the overwhelming majority (93% of counties) opted for Trump, a more consistent rate than in other less affected areas.
Most were rural counties in Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, and Wisconsin, types of spaces that have declining rates of social distance membership, masking, and other public fitness measures, and have been a focal point for much of the last wave of cases.
Noticing the contrast, the state’s fitness paused for a moment of introspection.
While they are involved in the growing number of hospitalizations and deaths, they hope to reframe their messages and aim for a reestablishment of public sentiment now that the elections are almost over.
Dr. Marcus Plescia of the Association of State and Territory Health Officials said public health officials deserve to “take a step back” and “listen and perceive others who do not take the same position” in terms of dressing in masks and other measures.
“I think it’s imaginable that things are getting less busy and less conflicted,” he said, adding that there is a possibility that a reorganized public message of physical fitness could unify Americans around reducing the number of instances so that hospitals won’t get hit during the winter. Months.
The electoral divide comes amid an explosion and hospitalizations in the United States and around the world.
The United States broke some other record in the seven-day moving average for new cases, reaching nearly 90,000.
The number of new instances on Thursday surpassed 120,000, another new record, with large numbers reported across the country, totaling about 25,000 in Texas, Illinois and Florida.
Iowa and Indiana reported more than 4,000 cases.
THE AP investigation was limited to counties where at least 95% of the beltways reported effects and grouped counties into six categories based on the rates of COVID-19 cases they had experienced that were consistent with a population of 100,000.
Polls also showed that the electorate that split between Republican Trump and Democrat Joe Biden deferred whether the pandemic was under control.
Among Trump’s electorate, 36% described the pandemic as absolute or almost under control, and 47% said it was under control, according to AP VoteCast, a national survey of more than 110,000 electorates conducted for AP through NORC at the University of Chicago.
Meanwhile, 82% of Biden’s electorate said the pandemic was not over at all.
The pandemic was thought to be at least somewhat lower across a small majority of the electorate in many red states, adding Alabama (60%), Kentucky (55%), Mississippi (58%), Missouri (54%) and South Carolina. (56 per cent), Tennessee (56 per cent) and Texas (55 per cent).
In Wisconsin, where the virus exploded just before the election, 57% said the pandemic was not under control.
In Washington state, where the virus is lower now than before in the year, 55% said the same thing.
Voters in New York and New Hampshire, where the virus is now more controlled after the first outbreaks, were very divided in their ratings, as was the electorate across the country.
Trump’s electorate interviewed through AP reporters said he valued individual freedom and believed the president was doing as well as anyone in reaction to the coronavirus.
Michaela Lane, a 25-year-old Republican, issued her poll last week at an electoral college at a mall in Phoenix, Arizona.
She voted for Trump.
“I think the ultimate challenge facing the country as a total is freedom as a total,” Lane said. “Attack on other people’s freedom, government repeal, government abuse, chaos in many of the ongoing challenges lately and simply give others back their rights. “
According to VoteCast, a portion of Trump’s electorate has called the economy and employment the main challenge facing the country, roughly double the percentage of those who named the pandemic.
By contrast, the majority of Biden’s electorate, about six out of 10, said the pandemic was the biggest problem.
In Ladison, Wisconsin, Eric Engstrom, a 31-year-old investment analyst, and his wife, Gwen, voted by mail in early October.
Trump’s failure in the pandemic sealed his vote for Biden, Engstrom said, and called the coronavirus the ultimate immediate risk facing the country.
He and his wife are waiting for their first child, a daughter, in January and are concerned that either may be in poor health when the baby is born, he said.
Engstrom Trump’s reaction to the virus is catastrophic.
“If there was a chance that I would approve and vote for Trump, he removed it because of the pandemic,” he said.
Political temperature has added to the tension of public fitness officials, Dr. Plescia.
“Our greatest fear is how long can you keep up?”he said.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, 74 state and local public fitness officers in 31 states have resigned, retired, or been fired, according to an ongoing investigation through AP and Kaiser Health News.
As the electoral temperament dissipates, the accumulation of hospitalizations in a colder climate creates “a turning point” in the pandemic, said Sema Sgaier, executive director of the Surgo Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit that has worked with Harvard. The ariadne Labs University Associate will expand a tool to estimate vaccine wishes in the states.
“We want to get back together. When I say “we, ” I mean collectively, ” said Sgaier.
Finding a non-unusual floor may become less difficult if one or more of the candidate vaccines are effective and get government approval, he said.
“The vaccine provides the reset button,” Sgaier said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci can be a unifying force: according to VoteCast, 73% of the country’s electorate approves how Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has treated the pandemic.
Even Trump voters, 53 percent approve of Fauci’s performance.
About every 10 Biden electorate approves.
