The latest survey conducted by the multi-university COVID-19 Consortium for Understanding the Public’s Policy Preferences Across States, led in part by Shorenstein Center faculty Matthew Baum and Kennedy School Institute of Politics Polling Director John Della Volpe looked at the many intersections COVID-19 has with growing protests for racial justice.
The survey sought to answer two main questions:
1. To what extent might the pandemic have created favorable conditions for the protests to occur?
2. What is the correlation between the scale of the protests in particular states and the subsequent spread of COVID-19? CONT.
