Results from this weeks Marquette Law School Poll show Wisconsinites growing more worried about their chances of getting the coronavirus. Poll director Charles Franklin
“In August that moved up by eight or nine points, of more concern. And at the same time the people who are not all concerned moved down,” Poll director Charles Franklin said. “So there does seem to have been a bit of a shift between June and August, with a bit more concerned and very much concerned, that reverses the downward trend that we’d seen from March to May to June.”
In August, 27% say they are very worried about COVID-19 and 36% say they are worried. In June, it was 19% and 36%. In late March, it was 30% and 40%. #mulawpoll
