When asked about eight different types of businesses — gun stores, restaurants, nail salons, retail stores, hair/barber salons, gyms, golf courses, movie theaters — those polled overwhelmingly voted not to reopen the businesses. The most opposed were movie theaters, with 82 percent against their reopening, followed by gyms at 78 percent, and restaurants and nail salons both with 74 percent.
When asked about President Trump's response to the outbreak, 56 percent of pollers gave negative reviews while 44 percent approved. Meanwhile, 75 percent gave positive marks for state governors across the country, and 74 percent approved of Dr. Anthony S. Fauci. The immunologist's ratings showed bipartisan support, as more than two-thirds of Republicans and independents approved of his work during the pandemic, in addition to nearly 9 in 10 Democrats.
