Readers visiting WNA member websites and social platforms from March 4-18 were asked whether they had adjusted or canceled travel plans due to coronavirus concerns. Out of 485 respondents, about 60% said the pandemic had not affected any travel plans, while nearly 40% said it had. The full question and results can be found below:
Have you adjusted or canceled travel plans over concerns about coronavirus (COVID-19)?
- Yes: 193
- No: 292
While the sample size for our poll questions remains small, the results can still offer members a starting point for writing their own stories. As more members post the poll questions and engagement increases, we hope to offer more statistically significant results.
A breakdown of the data, which includes respondent demographics like age and sex, can be downloaded here. (The data provided here includes information for all verified respondents. Unverified respondents are those who either chose not to give their full name or could not be verified by Polco through local voter registration files or other verification lists.)
- NEW POLL QUESTION: What concerns you most about the coronavirus pandemic?
This poll question and results were made available through a partnership between the WNA and Polco, a national civic engagement company based in Madison, to help Wisconsin newspapers better engage readers and access enhanced data and insights.
