Updated Trends in data from more than a year of polling continue to reveal often dramatic differences in Texas attitudes and experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic

This post updates an earlier post from April with results from the June 2021 University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll, which adds another round of assessments of Texans’ attitudes about the coronavirus pandemic to the Texas Politics Project polling data archive. The June poll adds to an archive of COVID-related data collected in polls conducted in April, June, and October of 2020, and February and April of 2021. The time series allows reporters, researchers, elected leaders, public health officials, and the public a view of how Texans’ concerns about COVID, behaviors during the pandemic, and evaluations of the official responses have changed throughout a year of pandemic conditions in Texas.

We’ve again presented the results below with little commentary or analysis to make them immediately available in the midst of continuing decisions by Texans and policy makers about how to adjust to pandemic conditions that are clearly lessening in severity in the state and most of the country, but have just as clearly not subsided entirely - to say nothing of continuing crises in other parts of the world. For now, the trend graphics provoke mutiple interpretations of how Texans have responded to the pandemic, and suggest that the clear differences in responses to the pandemic among different groups reflect very different experiences of the pandemic and its effects. Every picture below continues to tell multiple stories.

About the polls: Each poll samples 1200 self-identified registered voters in the state of Texas. The data is weighted to the known characteristics of registered voters of Texas from the 2018 Current Population survey and 2014 Pew Religious Landscape Survey. The margin of error of the weighted data for the full sample of registered voters is +/- 2.8 percentage points, with higher margins of error for subgroups. For a full explanation of the poll, see any one of the recent methodology statements available in the data archive.

About the graphics: A link below  each graphic leads to a downloadable, shareable, embeddable version of that graphic. Lines can be turned off by clicking on their values in the legends at the bottom of each graphic, which allows for some customization when downloading.

In addition to these items, asked across multiple polls, many other items about the coronavirus pandemic have also been asked in the five polls conducted between April 2020 and April 2021. In addition to all of the polling data available in the data archive, graphical representations of all COVID related results can be found through the polling search.

 

Concern

In each of the surveys, Texas voters were asked to rate their assessment of the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic, their degree of concern about community spread, and their concern about contracting COVID (or someone they know contracting COVID). Click on the table of contents below to jump to a section:
