AM News Brief: Public’s COVID Priorities

October 07, 2020 (KUER)

Earlier this summer, nearly 25% of people in a survey by the Utah Foundation listed COVID-19 and public health as their top concern. However, just how important it was varied based on a number of demographics like age, gender and political ideology. According to the nonprofit research organization, more than 90% of liberals said the state reopened its economy too quickly, while about 40% of moderate conservatives felt the same. As for age, people 75 and older were the most concerned about the virus. The study also found about 42% of Utah voters are in favor of a mask mandate. — Ross Terrell
