The majority disagreed that people should be able to participate in group activities under the current circumstances.
A poll released Tuesday suggests Jon Ossoff may have an edge over his Democratic opponents in the race to beat U.S. Sen. David Perdue in November. It is the latest in a string of surveys that shows a tight race for the seat.

The national conversation about the coronavirus has rapidly become politicized. While there are some signs that the gap in how Democrats and Republicans understand the nature of this pandemic is slowly closing, that gap is still, by many measures, rather shocking.
Civiqs, which has tracked the response to the pandemic, found that the share of Republicans who said they were concerned about an outbreak rose during March after President Trump embraced health warnings. That share dropped after Trump began downplaying the illness and emphasizing the need to reopen the economy.
The May 2020 Daily Kos/Civiqs Poll asked 1,546 adults in the United States about the personal and financial impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, their views of the government’s response at the national and state levels, and the 2020 presidential election.
Civiqs polls Pennsylvanians about measures taken to combat the spread of the coronavirus. People of both political parties agreed it was important to practice social distancing, opposed government use of cell phone data to ensure residents comply with quarantine orders, and expressed trust in experts.
