You'd probably find thats the percent of Republicans that don't have cushy jobs where they can work from home in their PJs. Those are the unemployed and underemployed blue collar workers and small business owners whose lives have suffered greatly. I've said from the start, you want people to start wanting to get back to normal, start furloughing teachers, staff, and administrators. Start laying off or cutting hours of IT staff. Anybody who is sitting at home in their PJs pretending to pay attention to zoom meetings, lay them off. Those numbers will jump back up to near 100% quicker than you can believe.
Good point. I’ve been saying for a while now that these white collar workers are never going to want to go back. They’ve been getting paid the same amount to not have to do shit. Even my family members, who are fully MAGA and hate the lockdowns, are saying they never want to go back.
Tech Pede here - our productivity is about the same for people without children.
For people with children, they are ready for the nightmare to end because they are working a full day of work while watching their kids and then spending the rest of their time with their kids with 0 downtime.
So I don't think your assumption is correct.
I personally think the numbers probably correlate with age.
True, "polled" are those that answer the phone, much more likely to be the ones working from home than people doing there normal work out in the real world.
When you have the whole world doing something its hard not to think twice about it. I see people talking about how this is crazy, we need to open up, its not deadly, (when they have a chance to think logically) but then they turn around and when its time to go somewhere, they avoid it or wear a mask in unnecessary situations. It's like your subconscious doesn't want you to go against the grain. We need more people living their lives, and people will follow suit
Almost half of Republicans too

Of polled Republicans. It doesn't have any basis on reality.
a fair point

The real virus is "Chicken Little-itis".
