52% of California residents said they plan to watch the Rams-Bengals showdown alone or with fewer people than normal because of COVID-19 concerns, compared to 41% of people nationwide, according to a new latimes / SurveyMonkey poll.
Yet despite some cries for looser protocols, the poll revealed that many Californians — and Angelenos, in particular — are feeling hesitant about the game, which is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area.
Many of the locals surveyed expressed faith that the measures — if followed — will have a positive effect on public health: 44% of L.A.-area residents and 42% of Californians said masks and other game-day protocols at the stadium will have a “major impact” on controlling the spread of the virus.But even some Angelenos were skeptical about the likelihood of following through with those plans.
“Therefore, the number of susceptible individuals still in Los Angeles is much reduced compared to what it was two years ago, so that one would not anticipate any major surge,” he said.The Times’ trackerStill, L.A. County officials are banking on residents sticking to the protocols, both at home and in the stadium. More than half the nation has indicated plans to watch the game.
While 57% of Democrats polled in California said they will watch the game with fewer people due to COVID-19 concerns, only 26% of Republicans said the same. Republicans also were more optimistic about viral spread: just under half said an outbreak is somewhat or very likely, compared to about 80% of Democrats.
