A majority of Republican Fox News viewers believe that the threat of the coronavirus is exaggerated, highlighting what experts say is a growing partisan gap in the view of the virus epidemic.
As Vox reported, the newly released poll from Survey 160 and Gradient Metrics shows that Fox News viewers are among the most skeptical of the threat of COVID-19, even compared to Republicans. The survey asked a sample of registered voters whether they were staying home from work and whether they thought the media was overstating the threat of COVID-19, showing that Republicans were more skeptical and that among that group, Fox News viewers were the most likely to believe that the threat is overblown.
Among Republican voters who watch Fox News, more than 60 percent believed that the media was overstating the crisis, the poll found.
