As an American, are you Concerned More over the Economy or Health?

A Harris Poll released recently revealed that people in America are growing increasingly concerned over the state of the American economy than that of their health.

The poll, fielded March 21 to 22 among 2,023 adults in the U.S., found that most Americans, 61%, currently consider the quantity of fear in society as ‘sensible given how severe the pandemic has become.’ This reflects a fifteen-point increase from the 46% of people who saw the fear as warranted last week.

In addition, the poll assessed the issues folks are ‘more and more concerned about’ and discovered that concerns about the economy exceed all other worries, which includes health.

About 84% of respondents, surveyed Mar. 13 to 14, stated they were growing more and more concerned over the state of our economy, yet at present, concerns over the health of elderly relatives and friends topped the list, with 86%. While these concerns have increased over the course of the past week, concerns over the economy currently top the list, with 91% of people in America indicating unease. In the meantime, 75% state they’re concerned with their health, 90% report they’re concerned with elderly friends and relatives, and 87% claim worried over the personal health of Americans “broadly.”

The poll comes as lawmakers battle for an agreement upon bipartisan relief legislation. Over the weekend, Dems blocked this measure after getting what seemed to be marching orders from Nancy Pelosi, who flew into Washington D.C. on Sunday — the exact same day GOP lawmakers say that negotiations fell apart.

On Tuesday, Trump said that he’d love to have the United States economy reopened by Easter (April 12^th).
