Readers visiting WNA member websites and social platforms from April 23 to May 6 were asked when they believed Wisconsin should end its “Safer at Home” policy. Out of 134 respondents, 40% said May 26 was a good end date, while 33% said it should be extended beyond that date and 27% said it should end immediately. The full question and results can be found below:
When should Wisconsin end its “Safer at Home” policy?
- End it immediately: 36
- May 26 is a good end date: 54
- Extend it beyond May 26: 44
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.
