“Coronavirus is the 2020 US election issue. But it’s not changing the way Americans see Donald Trump.” 

Shana Kushner Gadarian, associate professor of political science in the Maxwell School, was interviewed by ABC News (Australia) for the story “Coronavirus is the 2020 US election issue. But it’s not changing the way Americans see Donald Trump.” Gadarian completed research during the pandemic that looked at how people’s policy beliefs differ based on their partisanship. Gadarian’s team found that Americans were “using their partisanship as the top way to screen new information and decide what to do” in terms of the pandemic.
