Effect of current events on the U.S. presidential election June 2020
In a survey conducted mid-June 2020, 40 percent of U.S. adults stated that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic made them more likely to vote for Democratic candidates in the U.S. election to be held in that year. A similar number - 39 percent - also said that state governmental responses to the widespread protests made them more likely to vote for the Democrats. Conversely, for both of these current events, 30 percent of respondents stated they were more likely to vote Republican.
