Risk Perception Through the Lens of Politics in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Open accessAbstract
Even when, objectively speaking, death is on the line, partisan bias still colors beliefs about facts.We show that a higher share of Trump voters in a county is associated with lower perceptions of risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.As Trump voter share rises, individuals search less for information on the virus, and engage in less social distancing behavior, as measured by smartphone location patterns.These patterns persist in the face of state-level mandates to close schools and businesses or to "stay home," and reverse only when conservative politicians are exposed and the White House releases federal social distancing guidelines.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
