Fox Business Poll: Voters worry about the pandemic but split on restrictions

A sizable majority is concerned about the coronavirus pandemic, and the number saying the virus is “not at all” under control has inched up, according to a new Fox Business survey of registered voters nationwide. Twenty-seven percent think the pandemic is under control (8 percent completely and 19 percent mostly), while 44 percent say it is just somewhat contained. Twenty-eight percent think it is not at all under control, up 6 points since October. …
